Well pull the plug last night and it doesn't look too hot. So today I going to pick up a local cd009. Should be back up and running very soon. My updated guess is that I either crushed the 5th gear synchro or its a broken shift fork... Ill pull it all apart at some point

You may have won the battle but that motorcycle won the war.

Nah I still wont all of it. Hearing the two of them when I pulled over on the road was fantastic. The one guy gave me room to move over a lane to race his friend. Second he gets off his bike he goes to his friend "Yooo! That Z was f*ckin you up!"

Their ghetto accents made it that much better

Got my car back up and going last night. Everything is as smooth as can be so far.

Little disappointed in the old trans. Only point of failure was a bearing that got destroyed and spread metal everywhere. And there were metal flakes that were binding up the shift forks so I couldn't move them. Rather silly reason for a bad trans but I'm glad to see the cd009 is pretty strong internally because my last one took some abuse

How the F? Did you do this all single handed? Once again, that was FAST

Was it the throwout bearing? I had that happen to me, my throwout bearing exploded. Had to replace the clutch cover and another part of the trans cover.

No it was a different bearing. My throwout bearing has like 10k miles on it and still looked good so I swapped it over to the new trans.

Single handed as in by myself? No, I do some side work out of a shop with my brother and his business partner. So I have access to their garage and tools. But between the 3 of us, it was about 45 min taking the trans out, 5 min swapping some parts over, and 30 min putting the new one back in.

What took the longest was actually tearing the old trans apart.

This is not a recent picture, but this is the shop. Things get done quick here lol

Still trying to figure out if/what is wrong with my Z. New wideband shows full rich at moderate and above throttle, just like my old one (RIP $200). Plugs seem a little dark too, but unsure. Going on a local dyno to get a proper AFR readout next weekend and then will diagnose from there.

In the meantime, cleaned the MAF to see if that could be an issue. Cleaning went great, but one of the MAF screws snapped off in my intake (literally zero force applied) and now I have to figure a way to back that out. Just one thing after another - or do I just partout.

Your already selling the hood and exhaust your halfway through the process..

Did you sell your old air fuel gauge? I'm tempted to change my exhaust just so I can have a y pipe and get an air fuel gauge.

Just a few pieces left to sell...right?

And no I didn't sell it yet. Mainly cause I was convinced that the gauge was FUBAR. I may have even cut the wiring to get it out of the car, so if/when I sell it, I'd have to solder it back together

My car hates dynos. Its official I will never have power numbers for my car. Went to a local dyno day yesterday to make a couple pulls. First pull was unsuccessful from excessive tire spinning... Basically did a burnout on their dyno. And on the second pull my serpentine belt let loose at 6k rpm so I didn't get any numbers from that either.

But I put a hurting on another bike. I know for a fact this one was an r6 and I had it by a long shot from 60-140ish

You hit peak torque though right?

Or too much belt slip?

Too much spinning to read anything. And I considered the second pull to be a total wash because if the belt shredded I can only assume it was slipping for that pull since it was on its last leg

I donno about the clutch but could probably help with the diff and transmission bushing. Would probably take me the better part of a month to change a clutch in my back yard.

Mike you can definitely do a clutch, just not sure that I would want to do it without a lift.

Also have been lacking here because grad school seems to think I have 12,000 hours every week.
Other than that Ive been working on getting my boost dropping fixed and started wrapping my brothers mustang
