Subject: planning my attack by Mekanic on 2010/8/16 4:52:33 Got my hand almost back to 100% now. So I washed and drove the vette today for the first time in 4 months. Observations... my LCD lettering seems faded, not the backlight, the numbers themselves... odd. A/C didn't work, till 10 minutes into the drive when it started working heh.. And the clutch did not repair itself. SO.. I'm gonna keep a running log of my adventures in repair now that I can drive my baby again. I need some opinions along the way, and I know this forum has plenty  Already have the FW, picked up a used for 2k miles SM Spec Steel for a song on the devil forum from a fella who converted to manual, hated it, and was switching back haha. SO, I need.. clutch and PP, hydraulics, fluids (that's gonna get heated) , Hurst short throw, new knob, shift boot. For the clutch I'm leaning to the Spec Stage 2, opinions appreciated. For the hydraulics, I'm thinking about the Dorman parts from Rockauto, as they all look to be cast. Fluids, I'm thinking GM from all my reading, as the TWS has some people complaining. Sticking with the Hurst shifter, as I've driven a B&M vette and it was very notchy. Gonna be a pretty slow project because of $$$ issues from Doc bills and not working for 3 months, probably gonna scrape together a part or 2 a week. Fire away Gurus!!! ~Rich |
