70 Duster T5 Swap
Got the clutch pedal and master cylinder squared away with cutting one of the couplers down a little bit. Also threw the rubbers on the pedals for show
After that the flywheel and clutch went in.
Got the bellhousing up and I have about 1/8th to 1/4" of space between the clutch fingers and throwout bearing so that worked out perfect! :cheers:
I thought I was going to have to spend all night playing with the throwout bearing, but since that wasnt the case I threw the trany up there to mark what I had to cut out.
I cut the torsion bar support after I marked it but forgot to take a picture. BUT to anyone whos going to do this swap there are also 2 spot welds at the very top of the support. I ended up getting a sawzall blade in there to cut them, but it took some floor with it. But no biggie because that part of the floor is getting cut out for the shifter.
Also pulled the seats and cut all the old auto brackets out. I left the flat parts of the brackets on the floor just in case I ever go back to the auto, I'll know where to weld the brackets back onto.
Hopefully tomorrow night I'll have the trany all in, cross member modified and get the starter buttoned up.
