good call on the spoiler. its subjective but trunks with the lip look better without it.

Alright I'm a bit late posting this here, but on tuesday I finally got my newly painted trunk (spoiler free) and rear bumper on. Thanks Dan and Colin for staying out crazy late on a week day.

Re: Whipping my mama volvo...ugh VW

Driving along earlier and clutch stuck to the ground and wouldn't change gears. We think possible the clutch release, throw out bearing or hopefully not a bunch of shift forks. Will not engage when the car is running

Engine will be coming out Monday or Tuesday night, engine build will ensue. Anyone have a t3 turbo manifold or downpipe laying around?

Clutch master or slave cyl could've sh!t the bed.
Check for leaks!

Re: Whipping my mama volvo...ugh VW

Master cylinder seems fine. Slave cylinder is in the tranny

Re: Whipping my mama volvo...ugh VW

^^ no leaks at the master, slave is internal on o2m

Re: Whipping my mama volvo...ugh VW

This happened to me, Slave cylinder crapped out, good time to get a new clutch since its inside.
I was told this was common.

Re: Whipping my mama volvo...ugh VW

Yeah probably go with something very aggressive (fx400). Did you change the slave yourself since it's inside the transmission?

Re: Whipping my mama volvo...ugh VW

No, I lived in a condo at the time and no space to do any work. 1800 dollars later, But I had a new clutch put in. I also paid more for the sinlgle mass flywheel conversion. Vw put dual mass flywheels to make for a smoother shift I believe. Correct me anyone if I am wrong.

Alright day two: finished up pullin all the lines and got the engine out. Quite the hassle. Turbo defs has some play in it...compressor wheel touches the walls.
