[progun]

Ok, thanks. I am starting my metal work this week.

Hey Aj .
I took it off the back up engine!
A replacement clutch for your M38a1 will probably be around 100 to 140.00

 

[highfavor1004]

okay

 

[Lindsaym151]

We just keep going back farther on the drive line,We put the engine in and did all the right hose connections, Gotta pull her one more time!(Rookie mistake)
Trans is a f/u as clutch was !, GTotta buy a rebuilt trans, this will set us back 3 weeks,
Regroup , go to work , makesome cash ,buy a trans and on with it!
3 to 4 weeks before this thread becomes FRESH!

Hey brother, just going by MURPHY LAW, and taking into fact that the clutch was water log and now the trans. I would go through that motor a little more carefully. The only reason is that two out of three had major water damage. I would almost say that it seem like that hole set up has been under water at one point. I drop the oil pan just to check the bottom end of the motor. I know that you have already check the top end. I am just remembering the first time we put the motor in, and there was water on the ground. This is just an after thought. I am sorry to hear that the trans is gone; however, good job with the rest of the project and there is still more to do.

I am looking for a complete power pack for it. The project is on hold for now!

 

[RAYZER]

Oh No! Is the motor screwed too?

 

[Lindsaym151]
