I changed it a little for my sig, but I think you're right.



I had no idea your dashpot was sticking. Or uh, was that just some dirty joke that totally flew over my head?



Here's my new avatar.

I test fitted the tranny again yesterday and it looks like the seam where the two parts meet needs to go. I wanted to keep that seam for strength.



Mike, since the GLC has the same unibody framework as an RX-3, do you think it would weaken the car's structure if I cut out several inches of the tranny tunnel? Also, the gas pedal looks like it will just squeak by the starter after cutting and hammering down in that corner.

I guess I should just convince myself that it'll need to be welded back together by a professional. That would ease my mind. Just gotta convince myself...

And get some money.Welding doesn't come cheap.You kinda knew there would be problems with such a big engine in such a tiny car tho.
