Pulled the Transmission out, pulled all the exhaust off from the headers,and pulled most of the clutch off, till I can finish it. New clutch (complete) already ordered along with new slave maste seal and bearings. Hope to get some nice days to break everything in before putting it away for the winter after I'm all done.

Since there is no 'Location' in your username file on the left, ..., we must assume you are in Miami? Or San Diego? Or Brownsville, TX? Somewhere south! :lol:
Cuz it sure as hell ain't gonna hit 70 around here!

(On Saturday) Washed the, filled them, checked the tires, attached the battery tenders and put on the covers. Managed to get an extra week+ this fall. Looking forward to the typical late April emergence.

All finished with the install of the clutch. Finished putting everything on the inside tonight, shifter etc, all back together. Tomorrow, Ill use the new Tick speed bleader I installed on the tranny, to get the clutch blead, and ready for the winter after the mileage break in. It's been a challenge to pull a transmission and install a clutch by yourself when you have never done it before. I really want a lift so working on my car isn't done on my back outside in the cold.

Doesn't take up a lot of page but, I was out there all weekend!
