Got the tranny back in today. Just need to tighten everything down and change the pinion seal.

Redline D4 ATF delivered today. Tranny filled and buttoned everything up and took it around the block. Clutch grabs much better than the previous FRPP clutch. I am happy with the Spec clutch so far. We shall see after 500-1000 miles.

It's nice not worrying about a little leak here and there now! For however long that lasts :).

Painted the windshield trim black and attempted to replace the center caps with Cobra R's. The very first one I popped in cracked directly in half. So I guess I'll just stick with these for a bit. Eventually I'll get a new set of wheels to replace these '95 Cobra R's anyhow.

Motor and transmission mount installed. I've been fighting a vibration/violent shake at lower speeds in higher gear since last summer.

I appears to be gone!

I think I'm going to order that transmission cross member cause mine looks beat up. Do you still have a t5 Bdubbs?
Yes sir I do. Great upgrade!

Killing nvh is such a satisfying feeling.
You are 100% correct! I forgot to mention I also cleaned up the main ground cable that goes from block to the frame. The block side was pretty bad.

Did you feel more NVH with the stiffer mounts and crossmember?

Not that I can really tell. But all my mounts were shot. And my violent car shake is gone.

Nice to hear. The only clue I have towards the engine mounts being possibly bad is when I crank the engine over with the coil wire unplugged the steering wheel, alongside with the shifter handle, will vibrate during this process.

I have to take a closer look. The car only has 61,000 original miles

Report back what you find. They can crack and get worn from age as well.
