Mmmm manual conversion.

Here's a few things I've learned:

- replace the god damn slave cylinder
- replace the spigot bearing (I have a spigot puller if you need)
- when fitting the new spigot bearing, make sure it's in the right way
- when aligning the clutch, i'd use either an actual t56 input shaft or one of these - save yourself a lot of headaches
- as kito mentioned, put a ripshifter in now or suffer the pain
- i'd definitely recommend a remote bleeder, you'll especially need one when you go turbo and there's even less room in that already awfully tight spot. it's all good until you drop a socket into your bell housing.... proves very difficult to remove. don't #### around, get a remote bleeder they're not that expensive.

so when are you going turbo? ;)

Yeah was planning on doing
clutch, slave, rip shifter etc while shes out . May as well do it know then having to pull her out and redo it all over again haha.

House deposit first before a turbo setup ;) , a cam can come first thou.

Changed the tie rod and tie rod ends , drives smoother now and the steering has less "slop" in it when turning

Also more manual parts came
