FTO AUSTRALIA

So way back in 2011, I bought a LSD manual conversion kit off of Ben. It's sat in my room since the day I brought it home from the depot and it's time has finally come.

The current 5spd auto gearbox has an issue, I don't think it's actual gearbox but more of an electrical issue. The car's off the road so I figured a full rebuild is in order. Ben rebuilt the manual box with new diff and gearbox bearings plus seals.

I've got pretty much every tool I need except for the hole drill bit for the firewall and a set of impact sockets.

Wish me luck and pray I don't Toby the f**k out of it. I'm giving myself a 30 day deadline.

Let the games begin!

Have fun with that!

Need help? Got more time usually these days. I have about 6 impact wrenches and stepped bits to drill big holes!

Haha.

Is the oil burnt? What's it doing?

Organise a DIY day and we'll get a group of people to help get it done in a day

This^

I love my track record with not showing up to diy days. But smart as I would have changed your alternator not nothing haha.

I would have a DIY day if I had the space but I dont lol. Plus im sort of keen to have a crack myself and that way if it fucks up I can only blame myself.

haha fair enough, let me know when you need a hand then

Will do, thanks bro.

Shafts are good, won't be recoing. I've got a brand new HD exceedy ready to go. I was considering a lightweight flywheel but ill stick to stock for the time being.
