I find time to go pick up the trans today.
It’s wrapped in red shrink wrap, and on an open pallet. When the forklift driver delivers the thing to me, and puts it in my truck, he informs me that if I have a core, or have to send this trans back, it’ll have to be crated.
How is it that the sht that comes to me can come in like this, but when/ if I have to send it back, it has to be in a box?
Bastard suns a bitches is what they are,...all of them.
Its a big bitch. Not what you’d consider typical behind a Jap six cylinder.
it’s also been in a fire. The top tail piece of the trans got hot enough to melt the rubber accordion gasket at the tail piece, and the wire pigtail going to the rev-match computer in the tail shaft is melted.
The shift thingy at the tail piece is complicated..it appears to be bent, and worn. I cannot figure out how to test if it will go into all six gears without the shifter socket attached to it, and an actual shifter handle in place to try it. I’m sure the thing is empty, IDK if attempting to dry shift it will hurt sht inside, and that will bug me.
one more thing...
Its out of a 370z, not a 350z. IDK if it’ll even freakin work.
A 350z has a clutch fork..this thing has a hydraulic T/O bearing..
Im sure my late night friend will be back to visiting me again.....I can’t wait.
