[QUOTE="Paul., post: 15525088, member: 156070"] I've been doing some traveling lately, so a buddy of mine agreed to help me out and install some parts while I was in India for work. All this stuff was just finished up on January 28th, but I've not had a chance to post the pics he snapped during the install. The transmission has been out once before when it was replaced by Ford under warranty since it was whining since the day I got it. Predictably, the techs their did a shitty job on the install and managed to completely strip/cross thread/destroy the bolts holding the exhaust on. Thanks Rodeo Ford in Phoenix for being a bunch of hacks. My buddy had to spend hours cutting the nuts off to remove the factory cats/h-pipe. Anyway, with that done, I'm told the install went pretty easily. The flywheel had a broken dowel pin when it was removed. [ATTACH=full]704257[/ATTACH] My buddy Joe made this cool pilot bearing installer on his lathe, and installed a new HD pilot bearing from Ford. [ATTACH=full]704258[/ATTACH] [URL=http://s1227.photobucket.com/user/carpinteri/media/2011%20Mustang%20GT/Drivetrain%20Upgrades/Pilot%20Bearing%20Installer%202_zpse689vrlq.jpeg.html] [ATTACH=full]704259[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]704260[/ATTACH][/URL] [ATTACH=full]704261[/ATTACH] Then the new McLeod aluminum flywheel with ARP bolts. [ATTACH=full]704262[/ATTACH] McLeod Street Extreme Clutch Disc [ATTACH=full]704263[/ATTACH] ...and pressure plate with new OEM Ford bolts. [ATTACH=full]704264[/ATTACH] New OEM Ford slave cylinder. [ATTACH=full]704265[/ATTACH] I read some stories about weaknesses in the bolts provided by DSS that hold their billet adapter to the pinion flange. Rather than worry about it, like everything on my car, I overbuilt it. New grade 12.9 bolts were installed. Of course, they were to tall, so Joe turned 'em down in his lathe so they'd fit flush. Turn down for what? [ATTACH=full]704266[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]704267[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]704268[/ATTACH] DSS carbon fiber driveshaft. [ATTACH=full]704269[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]704270[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]704271[/ATTACH] McLeod braided clutch line with bleeder. [ATTACH=full]704272[/ATTACH] Right now my car is at another buddy's house getting my 3.31 gears installed (replacing my factory 3.73s) along with a Wavetrac differential, all new bearings/seals, and ARP axle studs. A little later, I'll get some pics of the new separate clutch reservoir. It's a very clean install and I'm pleased with it. The new clutch is nice. A little chattery at first, but that's to be expected when switching from my ultra-smooth OEM clutch. The pedal feel is excellent, and it's nice to have the fluid in the reservoir divorced from the brake system. I think that hot brake fluid may have been the culprit for some very difficult shifting during the last 1/2 mile event. On my last pass, I couldn't get the car in gear smoothly/at all and was struggling... against a 2000 horsepower Lamborghini no less. Thanks to Terry at Beefcakeracing for the great deal on a lot of expensive parts. Thanks to my buddy Joe Telesca for the install. He is incredibly meticulous. Can't wait for the next 1/4 mile event. Now that the drivetrain has been fortified, I'll feel much better about installing my race wheels and letting it rip off the line. :) Paul. [/QUOTE]
