I was looking into this but decided I would be kicking myself if I ended up blowing the motor afterwards when I could have just gone sleeved for another $800 for the peace of mind.Quote:

naw I have a pt6262 and a t3 full race manifold. Nothing fancy with pie cutting but it should get the job done. :)Quote:

I completely agree with you. I figured now is a good time to learn on a transmission buy taking it apart and fixing what needs to be fixed (preventive care) since i dont want to have to drop it for looooong time after its in the car. Its just unfortunate that there is no one local that i could fully trust with a transmissionQuote:

Won't go into second with the motor off? Sounds like a shift fork over a synchro, but I would think that same shift fork would prevent it from going into 3rd as well.Quote:
