The clutch, pressure plate and the bellhousing is bolted in; along with the torque tube and gearbox. After a near 6hr struggle, the powertrain is back together again!

You can see some of my expertly painted flywheel timing marks in yellow through the starter motor hole. :p

Its was strang ely (or typically harder) to put things back together than take them apart. The biggest trick is the clutch fork, which kinda floats on the throwout bearing, had to maintain it’s position while the bellhousing is fighting obstructions to mate to the back of the block.

But it’s relatively smooth sailing from here out. I’ll be in the garage most of today and I’ll share more updates later. THIS, is a good weekend.

The stay-at-home order is such a great opportunity to catch up on some much-needed wrenching . I see some parts stores are even starting to of fer  curbside pickup now, so we can still get what we need.

I fixed the reverse light switch in my Jaguar yesterday - turned out to be pretty easy even though it’s on the side of the transmission right next to the exhaust.

Of the highest order! I’m positive I’ll have it driving by the end of the month!

I haven’t done a POV driving video in a LONG time. If I find my GoPro I could make that happen again!

The O’Reilly’s I went to pick up an order at this morning was a ghost town, inside and parking lot.

Huh. T he one by me doesn’t even let customers in the store, from what I heard. AutoZone still does though.

I think the one by me is offering both. I chose to go inside. I figured with an empty store, I was fairly safe.
