FatalTheory Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 BMB has a point here - Spend time with your family while you can, worry about the car later. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. However on the flip side maybe the deflection is a way of coping with the issue. Either way, not the time to worry about a car problem. Family comes first. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corz24 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Thank you for the info. Im more so looking for someone that is a DIY kinda guy and could possibly come to my parents house to help me finish it. I have all tools and everything needed to finish it. Just need someone with the knowledge to help finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 you want a mechanic to come to your house and rebuild your car for free? Family tragedy aside, good luck with that. un-subbed Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corz24 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I never said for free! Nor am i expecting it to be a full bown master mechanic. Im hoping i can find a guy who likes to work on his subarus on the side and mabye has pulled a few motors or something along that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 What all needs to get done? What was being worked on? I hope you father is doing well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corz24 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 He pulled the engine and trans to find out why i only had 1st gear. Split the trans case and found a broke shift fork. Got new one and has everything back together. The trans is ready to mate back with engine and go in. Compsurge hes not doing well, the type of stroke this was is not something they can fix or do anything about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 That's terrible. I'm really sorry to hear that about your father . Spend time with him and don't worry too much about the car. Is there a specific reason you need to be back in TN (work, school)? I would find it hard for a school/employer to be heartless enough to force you back there when you need to be with your family. Less importantly, the good news is that you're not in an impossible situation with the car. Don't worry too much about this though. I understand you have to return back to TN at some point. When would you need to get back there? If you have one other helper, you can knock the install out in a few hours. I assume you have access to an engine lift. While the car is down, have you inspected the throwout bearing slide for signs of wear? You may need to install a TSK3, reasons here. How much mileage is on your clutch?

corz24 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 It is not my employer being heartless. Its me making sure i can live. I need to be back to work so that i can pay my bills along with taking on a few new ones now. I may sound like im being heartless but i need to be back working till the funeral which could be another week or 2. You are absolutly right this job wont take but a day or so. I did not check the throw out bearnig this time as when just the motor was out year or so ago for what we thought was main seal leak. We replaced throw out and while we were in there i had fly wheel resurfaced and replaced clutch. Mostly for shits and giggles. My car has 90k on it. No not new motor or anything just this car was owned by an old man and it was his winter car. He Bought it at local dealership and im 2nd owner. I got it with just under 47k on it. What is a TSK3??

compsurge Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 What is a TSK3?? It is a throwout bearing replacement kit for damaged transmission quills. It provides a sleeve to cover the damaged quill and a larger inner diameter bearing. If there is no damage, there is no need for a TSK3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corz24 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 We replaced it last time motor was out but not saying its not bad again. Wont know untill its looked at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted January 21, 2014 I Donated Share Posted January 21, 2014 How soon does this need to get done? Got another way to get to work in the meantime? I'm at least within easy driving distance, have the experience, and if it can wait until March, I work at a school and have spring break so I have off for a week then. Depending on how much work there is, I could probably get it done in a weekend if I had to, though. You said everything is ready to go back in? What tools are there? Engine hoist? Transmission jack? Air tools? Hoist is 100% necessary, the others I can work around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
