So sweet!! great job!! Glad the clutch is working properly as I know you had to do some custom measuring etc! This is awesome! Hopefuly tuning will go smooth for you!

I did technically get to drive it, and its pretty awesome, though I need to really work on the tuning. The good news is that everything seems to work and theres no extra noises, or warning lights. Unfortunately, the videos are pretty basic and it was really late on Sunday when I took it into town to get gas and run it through the car wash. I was in a hurry finishing other things so only a crappy cell video for proof of concept.

I absolutely have to tune it some more, but I was just too anxious to wait. I'll have to continue tomorrow and through the weekend to hopefully get to take it for a test drive. Anyway, here's a sneak peak

So how many tubes of JB Weld is that gonna take to fix?

I was cruising about 40mph and it suddenly exploded. Failure seems like it is in the area of the clutch pack assemblies. Although to be honest, it’s had major issues since before I owned it. The bad part is I can now no longer rebuild this transmission. My other TGP has been apart getting “topped swapped” and “5 speed swapped” for about 6 years now. So I’m going to take the transmission out of it and put it in this one. It’s a little disheartening going through the entire process of removing one transmission on your back and knowing you have to go do it all a second time to get the part. It’s actually a lot more work to remove on a turbo than other w-bodies.
