just keep working on it, let him blow it up, then sell it to me for cheap and i'll do it the right way and have another TT.

 

If he blows it up, I'm taking the turbos and most of the suspension for my S130

 

if he "blows it up" by the most common definition of the phrase telling that there will be internal breakage therefore grindage, the turbos will most likely be ruined by dirty oil. rebuild-able possibly. too tired to put a good sentance together lol.

 

Uh, not really.. lol

He's going to detonate the engine, which is going to crack piston ring landings. Those pieces will actually be held in by the ring itself (and the minuscule clearances between the piston and cylinder wall), and won't move until the piston is pulled out. Turbos would be just fine.

And any shards of oil that could do that kind of damage would a) be filtered by the *filter* b) stop the car from running before any oil could flow into the cartridges.

 

Hmm interesting. Anyways Im still fighting the tranny, for w/e reason I cant get it to go into the pilot bushing... and the clutch is aligned right

 

Er... was I not suposto take out the auto trans pilot bushing?

 

did you test fit the new pilot bushing on the nose shaft? pretty important thing there. they often have a bur or something and don't like to go on. or they like to go on one way and not the other.

 

Im pretty sure I did, and idk if its possible to install it wrong. I think this car just doesnt want to run again, it doesnt want to get blown up lol

 

if it happens to be slightly mis shapen then it is possible to install it incorrectly. i'm just going by what the very informative booklet of warnings that came with my clutch said.

 

That ebay clutch had NO info on it other then a big label saying "Professional installation only"

 

hmm. was it exedy? my exedy clutch was fantastic. best price on the market, looked like good quality, and it's holding up fine.

 

Ya it was

 

Ok Z32 are now in my official Piece of **** book. I've tried THREE ****ING TIMES to get the tranny on! I got the alingment tool in right the pilot bushing is the right size, the clutch and flywheel is right everything is right and the clutch is centered. WHAT THE **** WONT IT GO ON THE ****ING ENGINE!??!?!?!?!?? I've smashed up 3 pilot bushings already It just wont go in! this car is a load of bullshit...

 

Take two of the longer bolts and begin threading opposite sides (whichever bolt holes will reach). Tighten evenly until the trans is close enough to thread the proper bolts. Not a recommended method, but it works. And considering his hack mods, it's not like you're ruining the car or anything.

FYI, normally it's a bitch to get stabbed because the engine rocks forward so much without the weight of the trans holding it back. If you have the means to do so, you could try lifting the front of the engine to pivot it in the motor mounts. Hopefully from there, it'll be easier to get in.

 

Its sitting on the garage floor lol and I cant even get it to go that far in! I'm about to just install it w/o the pilot pushing at this rate >.> What would happen if I didnt anyways?

 

Wow this is a mess.. so after reading all 5 pages am I to understand that this WAS an NA auto and is now a TT 5-speed?

 

What's sitting on the garage floor? You're going against recommendation and trying to get the trans onto the engine before installing the motor?

I wouldn't install it without the bushing.

 

but seriously pull your pilot bushing out and slide it over the trans input shaft make sure it fits. If it doesn't mill it until it does. Remember to use the recommended grease when reinserting. I think it is lithium but check to make sure.

I'm betting someone used a hammer to insert the pilot bushing putting a tiny hitch in the giddyup which will keep the shaft from inserting. Yes the plastic centering tool will usually still fit still but the tranny shaft won't. Enjoy!

It's a bad idea to install without pilot bushing. It will cause premature failure of the clutch due to uneven wear.

 

2+2 N/A Auto to a TT Auto finally to a TT 5speed.... So yep

The bushing fit over the shaft just fine and fit the tool too, then I tapped it in after I froze it with a rubber mallet and a block of wood. the tool went it just the same and it didnt look damaged.

Dumb question but which is easier to install? the pilot bushing or a Pilot bearing?

 

when you tapped it in you made it oblong, the hole, use a dremel tool and make the hole a bit bigger. or a drill press or a lathe or whatever. The inner diameter is too small, that is the problem.

the chinese symbols on your signature mean pale fox? or white fox or something like that?

 

green fox. a book.

 

What?

 

^^^ Green = Blue , and Fox = Book. You didn't know that?

 

still over my head ^^" This is what I get for 3 hours of sleep and a 6 hour drive

 

no copy and paste it and put it into google, then translate a page and they all say green fox. it's a book that's been released fairly recently i think
