Sweet man. Let us know if that tranny pops out or not.

Yeah, the tranny feels pretty solid and seems to shift a lot smoother now. We examined the band aid bolt and determined that it was causing a bit of shifting with the transmission due to its length.

The good news is that I have extra bolts now in case someone else runs into the same problem later on.

I hope to have those FCABs ordered on Monday and here by Friday. Maybe the bushings will arrive at the same time, and we can knock both of those things out in one day.

Cool man. Fcabs and which bushings?

I've got some UUC clutch pedal bushings on order that are supposed to fix any squeaking. My clutch pedal sounds pretty bad right now.

if we don't destroy them on the way out I'll take your used FCAB's with under 50k that you have yours will be brand new compared to my 134k ones.

glad the bolt situation is all taken care of now

Dang bro, you never changed them out?

I know one FCAB should still be good, but the other looks toast. You want my old tranny mounts as well?
