I'm Back! '90 GTUs - Page 23

I picked up my wheels from Charles yesterday with intentions of having them put on today. I drove the car to work and started having issues getting it in gear. I had no issues at first leaving home. But after I left the gym I couldnt get it in reverse so I decided to take it home instead of chancing it. On the way home I was able to get it in reverse but then had some issues with it going into first and second. Kinda felt like it was binding. The last time I had that issue was in my civic and the clutch was definitely bad.

First step, pull back the boot on the slave cylinder and check for leakage. Second step, pull the trans!

Good times!! At least a trans is super easy on FC's.

When I get the clutch and flywheel I'm gonna have Adler do it at work. I'm not doing that again in the floor of a garage. NOPE.

Just asking, because in my 91 FC I had a lightweight flywheel and HATED it on the street.

Duh. Haha

But mostly because I drove nicks Rx8 and he has that flywheel and I liked it.

Looks like that 'tire tech' is installing the lug nuts after the car is down. Brilliant!

FC Zach · 09-12-2017, 04:49 PM

But it's hub-centric. . .

FC Zach · 09-12-2017, 04:49 PM

And with tapered lugs. .

Brilliant!
