JLarson's build thread

Everything is reinstalled, car is off of jack stands. Will not shift into gear. I believe I've improperly bled the clutch, so tonight that's my project. I'll enlist my wife to work the pedal. Hopefully that's my issue.

Also learned how to drain and refill my transmission housing! Redline MT-85, and used this pump here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Surprisingly good product for sub-10 dollars. Took me only a couple minutes to fill the transmission casing.

Regardless of the fact that this project has been way more work than I anticipated (and I anticipated a lot) it's certainly been informative.

That's the same pump I got from Habor Freight for $6.00.

When working on cars. Sometimes thing don't go your way. Then you have to figure out on what you need to do.

I feel ripped off

At least I didn't have to go anywhere to buy it, Amazon delivered it to my door same day.

If you have pedal pressure, maybe double check the shifter lock-out plate is properly positioned?

Good thoughts, I did check the lock-out plate and it appears correctly positioned. I lost pedal pressure immediately when I started the car, so I'm thinking there's a bubble. Also when I did the bleed previously, I didn't have anyone to operate the pedal while I bled it, so I'm guessing when I closed the bleed valve with the pedal in the "up" position, I probably had sucked air back inside. Does that sound like a fairly reasonable assumption?
