Transmission Isolation and Flywheel/clutch removal
On February 4th we spent our afternoon isolating the new transmission. We were able to bring the engine and transmission from Fiero #2 into the shop so we could completely remove the engine and access the flywheel and clutch. Now both the adapter plate team and the drive train team can begin making their measurements for all the necessary new parts. The transmission is still in dire need of some cleaning which is aparent from the pics below.
