clutch is in and tranny is mounted. I got a few other little things done on it too.. total time... 8 hours :oops: but it was super cold out and shit is so time consuming when you dont have the right tools and what not.. however it was a good learning process over some stupid things that held us up tho.. at least its done now! time to move on.. i'll be putting the intake on next then the radiator and i'll go from there.. lol
