Hi Gang,
It’s been almost 8 years since I’ve done any mechanical mods to my car. However, that will change this winter as I will be installing a fully built R154 transmission with all the Marlin Crawler goodies (rebuilt by Dirftmotion) along with OS Giken Grand Touring twin plate clutch, including hydraulic release bearing upgrade. The W58 has held up ok but the clutch is now slipping as I go over 12 psi of boost. I also noticed I’ve got a rear main seal leak so I’ll be installing a new one while I’m swapping the trans (could be why the clutch is slipping as well).
Stay tuned for more to come on this thread once I get the trans shipped back from Driftmotion. I just put her on the lift today for winter hibernation and to get ready for the trans swap:
