Working on a car 30m at a time.

It's been a while since I've done a swap, and I think I need to layout a roadmap next time.  This is my first auto-manual swap so I'll blame it on that.  I got the flywheel on (used some old MT flywheel bolts from a friends A6), and the clutch lined up and then I got my bag of AT parts and realized that the bolts for the torque convertor aren't the same as the ones for the MT pressure (In retrospect...why would they be?).  So a quick trip to the internet and Majestic Honda's website and 6 MT pressure plate bolts are on the way.

The trusty Ikea shop scale.  Dead on...ish.


 9lbs as advertized. 


 Have not used this brand before but have some drag friends that swear by them.  SFI approved and one piece design which can be resurfaced. 


I've been an Exedy guy for 20 years.  I loved the quality of their product for the price you paid.  After buying my first ACT clutch I am totally converted.  I actually bought an Exedy clutch for the wrong year (I was thinking motor year not trans year) and when it arrived it was all the parts in a box, with a piece of cardboard between the disk and pressure plate and everything else loose in the box just flying around.  The ACT kit had the pressure plate and clutch vacuum sealed and everything else in it's own plastic bag.  For slightly more it seems like a much better product just from the packaging alone.  The springs on the disk seem tighter and the whole piece just seems a step up in manufacturing.
