Lauren's 1985 Kouki Trueno

Okay all done. Pleased to report everything okay, though the clutch pedal seems to have a bit of play in it, as if it needs bleeding. Is biting a bit low, but works okay.

Sunday early afteroon:


New jack. The £20 Aldi one really was crap, so had to buy something that could get the car high enough. This works well enough. :+:



Mark about to give the engine a hug, he loves 4AGE's.



Rear end in the air, don't worry that rear foglight turned out to have broke it's mounting. What a shame, now no longer fitted.



View of the rear of the gearbox:



View the other way with prop dangling down:



Gearbox out:



Mark undoing clutch cover plate bolts:



Off it comes:



We locktited the flywheel bolts as we didn't do it last month when we swopped the engine stuff around.

Arty shot through the hole for the gearstick to the driver's seat:


Alright for some eh?


View from the rear. Flywheel can be seen:


Here you can clearly see the flywheel with no spigot bearing in the middle:



Mark drifting in the spigot bearing:


Yay, spigot bearing fitted!


Pic of the gearbox. End of input shaft where it locates in the bearing can be clearly seen:




At last it's done, should all be good for the trackday on Saturday. Also whilst there I tidied up the exhaust wrap and fixed a small coolant leak where it transpired there was a hose that wasn't done up properly from the engine change back in February! It was really easy to fix but only because the gearbox was out, so result really as I had noticed some coolant being used, but wasn't sure where it was going.
