Progress is slow......but shiney! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

Not much going on for updates while we wait for the trans and motor. I will get some more pics later this week..... |

Sweet!
I could probably google it and find it out, but is the T101 straight cut and dog ring? |

Randy, will you have any clearance issues with the new transmission due to the shift linkage?

Beautiful, just beautiful.
Please continue to document the build and install. This is a project that may be in my future (way in the future). If/when the T-56 lets go, I probably won't put another one back in. |

The T101a is a bit narrower so that helps....also, no TA on that side to worry about....I think there is some extra room there for the TA. The shifter is within 1/2" of the stock location front to rear. It is dealing with the side saddle location that will be fun! |

I had to ball peen hammer my trans tunnel for the shifter and shift linkage. It's all in my Jerico thread. 4th gen tunnel is different, though. I also played with the spacers to move the linkage as close to the trans as possible, that might help you out Randy.

OK. We borrowed an LS block with heads on it so that we can continue fabbing the things on the car.....the new motor is "taking its time" getting completed. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
So far I have the trans and bellhousing on the back of the LS motor, and 1/2 the exhaust system fabbed in. Should be getting the exhaust finished on Monday. The trans mount came out pretty trick. We have cut enough on the trans tunnel to get the Tex 101A in there and working.....will need to do some more beating on the tunnel and some reinforcing and some boxing to cover the holes. That will be Tues-Weds projects at the fabricators. Will likely reduce the spacers a bit too on the shifter itself. The shifter came out about 1" to 2" more rearward than stock. I had planned it that way...I always had to stretch a bit in 5th and I may move the seat back someday....a rear bent shift lever should accomodate that. The shifter side mount may lead me to bend the shifter towards the center of the car.....we will see when it is all together. No pics.....I maxed out my account this month with all the "For Sale" pics.....should have some in Feb. |

SCHWEEET!
Do the Spin Techs flow as well as XR1s/etc., or are they the only thing that will bring the dbs down to Laguna's noise level requirements?? Is that a locker in the work of art MW center? |

Is that a locker in the work of art MW center? The Spin Techs are quiet....that is why I bought them....Laguna DOES NOT mess around. I haven't heard too much about the XR1s but Lou Gigliotti told me once that they did not knock down the noise too much. No locker....still need my posi. It is a DPI Platinum Track. A competitor has been using them here with great success. Needs a rebuild once a year though. |

any idea what the new trans/clutch package weighs compared to the old setup. I just pulled my t-56 and my left nut is still rolling around some where. I was thinking of doing some thing like you are. Since i need a new clutch assembly and a starter.

I shipped out my trans and bell......weighed approximately 150 lbs. Go figure! ;-) |

I will ship it on Monday I think. :-D |
