Stab them with a sharp pick or small flat screwdriver.

I need a surface grinder bad! Found a few old ass six-twelve deluxe units in Pomona, but they still want $2500+ for them. Was hoping to find something $1500 or less. Was going to call you one day when I needed to surface down a pinion depth spacer for an Albins, but figured you might be...

I dropped off a 2D for the Funco on Monday, almost had to put a sweatshirt on inside that shop. Those 3 split units crank out some cold air.

Can I lock in the same offer for 2 years from now when I'm somewhat caught up and ready to buy?

Title says it all. I am looking for an old dash display with wiring loom for Albins sequential transaxle. Maybe you installed a nice fancy digital dash and have a ball of wires with display sitting in a box in the corner of the garage. I will happily offer some money for that ball of wires and...

Will likely be the first one in 13 years that I will miss. I've had to miss my oldest' birthday parties every year for 6 years as it's on the 18th. I think we'll stay here in Havasu this year and celebrate with her as a family.

You now need these 2 parts: https://weddleindustries.com/products/CL-165/CL-165 https://weddleindustries.com/products/SC-00170A/SC-00170A As John said above, you only need to purchase the "Adapter" once, then replace the bearing as needed.

Paddle shifters require some sort of throttle blip on downshifts to "throw" the dogs out of the gear they are in so they will unload and shift into the next gear. Upshift is somewhat easy as far as "detuning" with fuel/ignition cut to cut the torque load on the gears. What can happen is the...

When trans and motor are assembled, the throw out bearing will be sprung back and held against the transmission. You can physically pull the arm on the outside of the bell housing and feel the throw out bearing stop against the clutch fingers. This is typically about 1/2"-3/4" of movement from...

Crack the bleeder screw open on the side of the BH, push the throw bearing all the way against the trans. Put a flat edge across the bell housing and measure the face of the throw out bearing to the edge of the bell housing. Record measurement. Assemble the clutch on the engine, torque down...

^^^ This is accurate.

This will require a DBW throttle body for proper operation. There are some guys that have fitted electric actuators to cable operated throttle bodies for blipping on a downshift, but they have never been able to get them to work as well. Also, I've dealt with a Pikes Peak racer that had issues...

Maybe I'll talk to Dave and see if he wants me to do a paddle shifter article for the home page. I just haven't had any time to spend on other things while I've been getting my shop up and running and transmissions out the door this past few weeks. I know the "hardware" side of paddle shifting...

More info please. What trans and engine? What clutch? What type of bell housing on trans (VW or Chevy (VW has starter mounted above trans, Chevy will have starter mounted under engine block)).

As long as there are no major issues with it internally, I can have it done in about 2 weeks once received at my shop. A major note would be that if there is an issue with the housings (cracks) or shifting system (no available replacement parts), You would have to convert it to a Weddle...
