Day of my alignment, fan hits my upper hose and pops, Happened nov 23rd. Truck at least drove well afterwards

[Ildottore46]

November 25th and the slave cylinder took a crap, only drove it for 2 days. Maybe 50 miles total. New flywheel, pressure plate, friction disc, slave, and master showed up today. Get to drop trans and replace everything this week. 
 

out of curiosity if anyone knows. From what I'm seeing, 88 knuckles have ball joint eccentrics and 90+ Have the taper built in and they have the caliper bracket built into the knuckle. Besides that are they the same? Will my caliper bolt onto the newer knuckle? Online shows a different part number bit Wasnt sure if the calipers will still mount up and work

questions from the OP should really go in the Tech forum.  not everyone reads the projects and so more eyes will see the Q over in Tech and thus increase the chances of finding the right answer.   I do know that the brakes changed at some point and are not swap-able, but I don't remember what the cutoff was.

Finally got time and removed the last e12 bolt

[Ildottore46]

Todays part of the project was to pull the clutch, pull oil pan, and do rear main. Got the new rear main in, and new pan gasket all set. Going to put my new clutch components on tomorrow. Also going to be doing the input shaft seal.

I did not, went new

Little more done this morning.

I suggest using studs for the top 2 bolts.  they help with realignment.

Same!

[Ildottore46]

Got the trans back up and bolted in. Had to cut the exhaust though, going to put a vband in. 
 

 

yeah, using studs wouldve been easier, saw it suggested a while ago but forgot about it

[Ildottore46]

Everything is back in and bolted down, Waiting on fluid for my tcase to come in tomorrow. All thats left is bleeding the clutch, adding trans fluid, and adding tcase fluid. 

[Ildottore46]

Buttoned up the last bit, all done for now. Need to go to exhaust shop to have the vband welded in.

getting close!
