What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Festivahopeful]

I have a spec clutch in my g series if the stickers are to be believed and an old for sale ad. Either way, I love it. I don't beat it up, but it engages nicely and really grabs. When I first got the car the clutch was very stiff and temperamental, but the more I drive it the better it gets; I think it was pretty new and not broke in.

Old transmission is off, and the replacement bolted onto the engine, and all both back in and bolted to the car. Now to put everything back together. Taking so much time, because we are working with limited light, no air tools, in a cold garage, and only doing things a few hours at a time before I have to pack back up and head home.

Axles came out without too much of a fight, my balljoints didn't want to pop out of the knuckles, so we just popped the tie-rods out instead for the clearance for the axles.

Last night we got most of the stuff connecting to the engine and transmission unhooked, and moved out of the way. Just forgot to bring a jack. DOH!! Going back after work today to finish the job.

Hopefully I will be driving my Festy home tonight with a fully functional 5-speed.

How tough to install the washer tank? Just the drivers side wheel well liner?

Finally got to install my windshield washer tank with the new pump.
Beautiful 75 degrees & no rain.
It works perfect ,& I get to use the Smart Car triple spray .
Cudos to bravekozak for a great idea.
Added some rep. for him.

Had a setback, my brother found that his engine hoist and jack were stolen from his garage, so going to rent one tomorrow to get this done.

Going to be changing out my transmission today. Hoping everything goes smoothly.

Got a replacement 5-speed yesterday, and picked up 3 quarts of Pennzoil Synchromesh. Also some engine degreaser to get all the old oil off the replacement tranny. lol

Got to wait till friday to put it in.
