More Goodies and more work . . .

I picked up a F-Body oil pan, pickup, gasket, bolts and windage tray for the 4.8L.

Also got a shipment from my favorite parts supplier BMA Parts for the 740i.

1. Water Pump
2. Thermostat
3. Rear PCV Cover
4. Intake Gaskets
5. Throttle Body Gaskets
6. Coolant Pipe Gaskets
7. Fan Clutch
8. Belts
9. Tensioners

I also have to add LUBEGARD® Dr. Tranny INSTANT SHUDDER FIXX (I know that doesn't sound right) since the torque converter is still shuddering (lock-unlock-lock-unlock).

I also got some goods for the 530i

1. Engine Coolant Sensor
2. Clutch Reservoir Cap
3. Water Pump Pulley
4. Fan Shroud and bits
5. Various screws and crap

I have to find a 5.0 bellhousing for the T-5 I picked up last week and come up with clutch release solution since the SN95 bellhousings have the release fork at a VERY weird angle.

Kaaaa-boom . . .

Good news everyone . . . . Found me a T-5!! Going to get it tomorrow. Comes with a decent warranty and for less than it would have cost to repair the T-5 I have . . . I can deal with that!!

Damnit . . .

Just got off the phone with the builder. . . Good news, it is a from 84 Mustang GT, YAY! Bad news, 2nd and 3rd gears are pitted pretty bad, damnit . . . To get this transmission in decent condition would cost $$$. No thanks, I'll pass . . .

I'm glad I spent the $ to get it opened up and looked at. I would have been PISSED to blow it up at the first race.

And the verdict is. . .

I found out today that the world class T-5 I purchased for my 350is track car is in fact a non-world class transmission on the inside.

That NEW Summit Racing T5z is looking better and better . . .
