Turbo 616 powered Astro Van build
lol, what the hell happened on this thread? im using this thing to trundle around moving generally trash, and now we are on a huge debate about stance modifications. Not a single one of those cars would survive being driven to the dump loaded with old boards and rubble
so update-
well, ive got a bit of a head scratcher to ponder now.
Ive pulled the thing in to dozens of parts again, and I cannot find a single physical issue with the clutch that would be causing the awful noise I heard. like the gearbox starting to eat itself.
Ive also finally had a chance to compare the T5 gearbox with a NV3500 gearbox, and there is no difference between the input shafts as far as depths.
The input shaft on both gearboxes extends 2/8ths past the bell, and the splines start 5/8ths down the shaft. This brings into question some of the early issues i had with the adapter kit, like the pilot bearing adapter wasn't going to work for the NV3500 either.
So now im thinking about taking the T5 apart and looking inside. The noise was awful, and ive found nothing external that would explain it.
If I want to use the NV3500 I now have, I need to change the clutch disc to the correct spline clutch, get a new slave cylinder that matches this bell, and cut another shifter hole for it.
