Well that was a fun drive back!
First off though, thanks to
everyone, it just started happening and everyone was helping out with different things all at once, there were different piles of bits of my car growing all around it.
Proper team effort, especially the scaffold pole gearbox alignment! Hope someone has a picture of this, there were 2 guys each side of the engine bay bracing a scaffold pole with a rope and gearbox hanging off it, and at least 3 people underneath jiggling it into place.
Oh, although it did take 3 guys to remove a plug from a slightly high up socket!
New clutch, new flywheel, Jinxy's short shift kit fitted, brakes bled and reversing light changed!! Got it back on the ground and started it up just before the 5 minute warning!
So, I didn't stall it
feels really nice, the characterful responsive revvyness of the 4AGE is even more than normal, that's how I can best describe it.
You can
'feel' it better, and it feels like it wants to be revved.
The clutch had a little judder initially but a few 3000rpm starts and I think it's bedded in, it's nice now.
Oh and I was changing gears just for the hell of it!\:D/
Top stuff!!
Now just gotta get that manifold gasket sorted.
