    Gt 40 First drive

    The transaxle seems to need a seal to stop the leaking thru the pilot shaft tube. Does anybody know a source in the US for the Reneault trans?

    New garage

    Just my 2 cents worth. I have 8" flourescent lites in my shop. I have some on the ceiling but also have some on the wall down a bit. I like this lighting for any body work and painting I do. I will never be without retractable air hose reels and drop lites.Even after working out in the garage...

    Gt 40 First drive

    I am using the renault un1 with a Tilton master cylinder. I had a bushing made for the clutch release bearing that I believe was too short.I now have a new one that will cover the total travel of the bearing.I am also planning to monitor the pedal travel and adjust the stop accordingly.I will do...

    Gt 40 First drive

    Its all apart now and it looks as though I need to have a sleeve made longer to go on the transaxle. I think the bearing is getting cocked a little and does not return correctly.

    It appears as though the clutch slave cylinder is the problem with the release bearing. It is stuck partially out. I am going to spend the afternoon removing the transaxle an inspect the clutch. Hopefully a new slave cylinder and bearing will cure the problem.

    Gt 40 First drive

I got the car going again when we came to the conclusion that one of the gas tanks was empty. Got going again just to...

    Advice needed from the Pro's

    Re: Advice needed from the Pro\'s I would do the spider and front and rear clips.I would do this to make sure the spacing front to back and left to right are correct. My car came fitted incorrectly and was over to one side too much.One rear wheel was in too far and the other was out.I only...

    Just can't tell you how pumped up I am. Took the GT for a ride today. The roads were relatively dry and I just had to go.I had help from my brotherinlaw who is a computer nut. He helped with the SDS system enough to go for a drive.We are working on the setup of the system. I can see now that we...

    Painting UK

    The 2 part paint systems are great. Just make sure you use a good resperater! The base color goes on like the old laquers and flash off very fast. Then the clear coat goes on really wet. The only thing I would caution is to watch out for the edges. The edges catch the overspray, and that is were...

    Floor mounted pedal box

    I'm using a Tilton pedal assembly. The assembly was too far apart when I got them so I cut them apart and set them closer together. They work well now.They were a complete set when ordered. I believe you can order them separately and do better on the price.
