There’s so much awesomeness in this video I needed to break it up into 2 parts!
After talking with Bruce Couture from Modern Driveline, he recommended some other components like the steel bell housing and hydraulic clutch. It was also recommended I go with a new transmission brace from Stifflers because the stock bracket wouldn’t work.
The result of all that is what you’ll see in this video. If you’re looking to upgrade or install a new manual transmission in your vehicle for performance purposes, this video is for you.
Now I have some new challenges, hood clearance to start. I will solve this issue in a future episode by installing spacers between the K member and the body of the car. You get that little nugget because you bothered reading the description. Thank you for that.
