A little more progress was made over the weekend. My buddy Gary came over and we finished removing the three speed trans along with the clutch and bell housing. Now that everything is out, I'll spend some time cleaning up the under side.
I talked to the guy at the local spring shop and he steered me away from re-arching the factory 340 springs. While it would have been cool to have them redone, he stated TWICE that he couldn't guarantee that the spring would hold the re-arch. I went with my original plan and called Laura at ESPO. My new six leaf +1 springs should be here in about 4-6 weeks.
