[robert 1980]

Nevermind jon fixed it so it works now.lol
I have to think of something else you can make for me john.lol

[ForcedFirebird]

If it's not going to work jon no big deal.
I'll just send my aluminum bracket to you John forcedfirebird?
You could make one right?

Making one wouldn't be an issue, but making sure things line up would without a car here.

Tried it on, but it was too tight.

A highlander shirt too tight... No way that's how its supposed to be... Muscle shirt!

Which one is it?

[ForcedFirebird]

Lol. Any shirt that's not on someone's back turns 0-rag in 4.5sec. I was using it to cover a late m3 motor while the valve cover was off. Tried it on, but it was too tight.

Here is the vid

I'll get a better one today or tomorrow, Running a lot better now since well the VE is dialed in much better than that was, and now I'm on the maf sensor again so its smoothed out.



Had a fitment issue with the J-body Jack Shaft Carrier bearing setup... for some reason when I installed it into this trans it will not sit flush against the block, if I try to get it to sit right, its pushing the shaft backwards and I think miss aligning the jackshaft in reference to the splines on the spider gears and thats just a no no....

Bottom is hitting the block






Top of the bracket is about 1/4 away from the block and I can't press it against the block without it pre-loading the axle backwards and that's going to wreck the diff.



If anyone has any input that would be great, but I'm going to take it to the inlaws tomorrow and put it up on the lift so I can get a better look at it and see how much its trying to push outward and if I can make it fit with a slight clearancing of the bottom of that bracket, or if its just not going to fit...

Makes no sense to me because the other jack shaft and bracket fit fine, His original one is the beretta style, Aluminum housing bolted to the trans and the bent aluminum bracket holding that to the motor. If the aluminum bracket were made from steel then this setup would be fine, and better since this way the carrier bearing is actually oiled, where this other one is a sealed bearing, BUT it's a little bit more robust than the Beretta style.

Is there a difference in that area of the block on say a 96 3100 or 01 3400 vs this 03 3400? I didn't think the block changed from 01 to 03, but I could be wrong.

John was trying to be clever with his highlander shirt reference. We use it to cover engines, so when john says "there can be only one" I say "engine cover".

You Guy's kept the t-shirt.Thats awesome i almost forgot i sent you it with my heads.lol
Good times.

Im not just posting for a higher count.I really only talk to jon on here sorry=(
So do you think you'll get a chance to WOT tune jon??
Yeah where is the video jon it's not on 60 degree?lol

[3400-95-Modified]

Jackshaft is at the house, doing some road tuning today, hope to be done with the VE and then move on to the MAF tune. Will be installing the jackshaft tonight, hopefully that goes smooth lol...

[unchained01]

A one line "highlander". ???

[ForcedFirebird]

I have been subscribed to this thread since the beginning, but don't care about post count to make "cool" "awesome " etc one line posts, so all I have to say is: "There can be only one.".

[robert 1980]

Can I work on my own car... LOL!

I have all of my un-installed Stage 2 parts for the legacy sitting in its own trunk waiting for me to have time to blast and coat them... I have so much work backing up its not even funny. Nothing against Robert or this build but I will be glad to have it done. We both know its taken way longer than we anticipated and I'm sure a bit more epxensive than Robert anticipated as well, but the outcome is worth it!

Oh Robert, I found the other Z51 swaybar bracket stuff... All I'm missing now is the outer bushing brackets, which can come from any pre 95 beretta sway bar install. So if you want that I can throw it in the trunk for now and maybe we can install it come spring time when you want to do struts and the dyno tune with wideband and such.

Yeah i'll take the bar well if you want just leave it there so it ready in the spring time.Yup still need a wideband and slickes.lol
