Today I had a buddy come over and help me with some stuff on the car. There of coarse were some issues so I figured I could use someone with knowledge.
First thing that was the problem was the transmission. It shifts fine when the car is off but when the car is running it doesn't shift. I was somewhat pissed. I mean why not? ya kno? I asked around and did google searches for any car cause it dont matter. Well the results were that the pressure plate was bad even though it was brand new!!! Hmmm I thought to myself. Someone told me to adjust the pedal since I did the 5spd swap from auto of course. Well adjusted that (last hope before taking the tranny off) and bam! Shifts smooooothly into every gear and even reverse. Niceee! Man last thing we wanted to do was to take out the tranny and redo the shit. Lots of time saved. Thanks Denis for your help and Yellow4G63 for your advice. We probably would of never thought about that!
Second thing we did was go to NAPA and buy brake line for my FL. Quickly installed that and as we were ganna bleed my brakes we decided to install stainless steel brake lines. Wow! They are amazing. Love em. Rear ones were a b!tch to uninstall the old ones but did it (love vise grips!!).
Finally we bled the damn brakes. First time it was unsuccessful and barely stopped (pushed the car - not running) Second time it was very successful. Stiff as a mother f*****!!! Thank god I have brakes now lol Last time I nearly killed myself hahaa. Crazy sh!t.
More pics and vids will come shortly!!!!!!!!
Also a few gauges are on their way here. Can't wait to install them!!!
