Hey guys, sorry I haven't gotten to a meet yet but I plan on it as soon as time permits.
Anyway, I'm getting rid of a bunch of stuff in the garage before I move to Macon, so check it out.

When's the next meet? Anywhere closer than kennesaw?

Chris, that is definatly a load bearing wall.. You can build a header or add a laminated beam depending on the span/length. It is holding the center of the second floor, floor joyces .

depending on the span say 20 ft or less you can sandwich 2- 10"lvls with a piece of 3/8 ths plate in between and have no problems. It will cost you between $800- 1000 for the material. and a case of beer for your buddies to come help because the plate wil be heavy

Hi Guys,
Apologies for not being at wrench night. My hand is healing nicely. I am very inerested in a Dyno day; however, My clutch is on its last leg and slips badly in 3rd and 4th when I get into the skinny pedal. Therefore I probably wouldn't get an accurate reading until I replace it.
Len and everyone else, I am considering a Sachs 13 inch double disc. Do you think this is overkill and Len do you rent transmission jacks? I have been told that the Getrag and the NP205 can be removed together by just removing the bolts that attach the tranny to the bell housing. If this is the case I am considering replacing the clutch myself.
What do you guys think, reccomend, etc...?

Joseph, glad your hand is healing well. That clutch might be a footfull for everyday driving: 13disc. Better ask in the 1st gen and see what others chime in with. Been a while since I've had to drive a hand shaker in a 3/4 ton truck. I do not have tranny jacks for rent. I do have regular floor jacks that you may be able to adapt with straps. I did when pulling out my tranny from my cj-7 and it worked O.K.

Mike at Mr. tranny over on hwy140 going towards Waleska. He is the owner.
his shop is 1 mile North on 140 past the YMCA in Canton. If you want to set something up I will meet you up at his shop and talk him into some kind of discount for you.. Mike is pretty cool and knows his stuff...

I hope to receive my Con OFE 13" clutch from South Bend Clutch today, that baby was not cheap. I went to Harbor freight yesterday and purchased a HD 3 ton floor jack, 6 ton jack stands, a transmission adapter to go on the 3 ton jack, and a creeper for me to ease things. I have a buddy coming up from Savannah next week and hope to save a few bucks by installing it ourselves. Wish me luck.
