I made it! Had to run 2 stop signs when I got off on my exit lol but it was fine... I made it!!!!!!!!!! I drove through the grapevine going up hill @ 80 the whole way and then going downhill at @ ~100 the whole way... Was driving anywhere from 70-90 the whole rest of the way and it was fine! Engine sounded great once I parked Just in case, does any one know where I can find a TOB clip?

Popped the tranny, was surprised as I dropped it in 2 hours, dicking around LOL, as soon as the transmission dropped I saw a spring inside the pressure plate =\

Yep, could have told you it was the springs. I had to do the same thing several times long ago when I had my first se-r with a Spec clutch back when spec first came out and was shitty. Had to drive about 20 miles home. Every time I came to a stop light I would have to shut the car off, put it in first gear and then use the starter to get going, rev matched the gears was the easy part. It was the stops that killed it. Luckily my starter was strong.

Spec clutch disk popped a spring, i removed the broken spring and put the disk back in because i had to use the car for work, spec was sending me a new disk, 100 miles later popped 2 more, dropped it again, took them out and put it back in again, and then a couple 100 miles later it blew the last one out and i got my new disk in so i put the new one in and all was good. 3 clutch jobs in 2 weeks. lol. Good stuff.

Had it down to 1 1/2 start to finish on the last one.

I was younger and motivated back then. First one took 4 hours start to finish, 2nd one 3, 3rd one under 2 hours, lol. I didnt have time to mess around as the 2nd and 3rd time it happened it was on a weekday and had to work the next morning so had to get it done. My starter didnt like all those starting in gear from a stop either. Starter died shortly after the new disk went in. Every time it happened i was not close by the house.

That blows.. I found the problem as to why it exploded... Dowel pins were missing :X Guess I just over looked that when I did the engine swap... Good to know that it didn't just happen for no reason
