Project Fairlady Silvia, for now I have a fix in place it is a work around in the process for the moment till I can get a replacement block.
I had a shifting issues with it, that didn’t seem right at all. I revisited the clutch master and slave and a new line and all seemed to be good with pressure but the pressure plate was not.
When I pulled this plate out of the VG, 2/3 of the teeth was faced in words and I did not get a picture of that but I was able to swap it out with the old pressure plate by Rhinopak.
It took some time, but a lesson to be learned here is never buy ebay junk so my only fear is the clutch itself shredding.
At this time I went a head and replaced the throw out bearing since the old on has been on there for over 5 years (left) and the new one on the (right)
When that was installed it did feel better with the clutch and stuff.
Reassembled the clutch on the vg block and reinstalled the transmission, this took the majority of my day to reinstall. But when completed I have ended up with a dead battery as the battery is on a dead cell and does need to be replaced asap.
But the next day, I was able todo a few test runs and the clutch was solid the pressure was great, I was able to shift like I should. I was satisfied for this now, and I feel more confident in driving this car now.
Here is my current walk around.
For my other project, my project Serenity a daily restore project and the restore was near perfect it is running with no issues. Replaced the ca18e idead with a fully rebuilt ca20e doing so I have no more issues with the car.
Here is a current walk around.
Now with my current project is project Robin the CA18det.
