hi dave, just got back from the yard.

1. lower part of the drive shaft has a ding in it, dented. the car ran over something bad enough to bend the control arm and shear it a little bit.

i see that the the crossmember is much different and had pulled it.

2. i had to break some of the plastic end of the clutch cable to remove it from it's pin holder at the clutch and to pull it through the cable holder. it was cracked anyway.

3. looks like a hard part is pulling the pedals.

nothing's bought yet. will purchase everything at one time.


questions:
a. about the lower drive shaft, it appears to be larger than rear shafts from auto trannies, correct?
b. can i mate the upper shaft with my current auto tranny shaft?
c. the flywheel on auto trannies have 4 bolts securing to the torque converter. surely, no torque converter, so can I just pull the flywheel with the tranny and separate from the engine? i presume the flywheel is bolted to the engine journal.
d. i notice that the clutch cable has a dedicated hole in the firewall that's not on auto tranny cars. i guess i'll have to drill one.

hadn't pull it all the way. i didn't have my 18mm non-ratchet wrench with me. my reversable wrench won't fit in the low-clearance bell.

thanks,
byron golden
