2nd gear teardown update

[Dano]

Well, the checks I been waiting on finally cleared the bank. SPent 400 dollars with Flatout today, Chris called me at noon and told me that all parts are available in the warehouses, only one part needs to come from Japan. (I'll tell you about that later. Something to do with not wanting to take 10 minutes and make the clutch holding tool!!!). All parts should be in by the end of the week. Saved 25 bucks by having him hold the parts for pick-up since I only live 10 miles from there. These parts are just the internals, like all o-rings, gaskets, clutch springs, 2nd gear repair (gonna undercut my gears), water pump rebuild,etc.. Will post complete list if anybody wants to see it. Next week I'll order my exterior stuff, going to replace all the hoses, water route orings, thermostat, etc. Doing this once, and then be done with it! Flatouts website makes it easy to order, can print out the microfiche listings, that way you have a record of what you've got when it comes time to figure out what all those bags have in them!!! Oh well ,back to the grind!

You didn't forget to order one full Size Friction Plate for the Clutch, so can replace the most inner half Disc ?

[Dano]

Yep, how did you know?????!!! I'll look at my parts listing and see if I can figure out which one it is. THanks alot Squeeze, I wouldn't have thought about that. With that plate and new springs, will it reduce the tendency of the clutch to release at WOT under load?

 

Thanks again,

There are two Parts Numbers on Friction Plates, one Number is with 7 Pieces and the second is just 1 Pieces. The single one is the one you make your new Dart Game Target. So you order the Disc which is listed 7-fold on the List.
