It's done!
Welp, Test drove the 833-od tonight!. Started on Friday of last week.
Hydraulic clutch and the whole thing. talk about a live feeling, the manual seems to be a lot less "soft", course I still have a big hole in the floor..and no carpet.
The whole thing went pretty well but there are a couple of unforeseen issues.
1. My speedo now reads 35mph in 4th at 2k...hmmm how do I calculate what gear I need to fix that? It was fine with the old 904
2. Downshifting is almost impossible, I have to wait till I'm dang near stopped to get it into 2nd, is that normal (i'm using 75w-90 in the trans)? a friends 68 3-speed mustang behaves similarly.
