yup set screw is a good thing.
Hey kind of a late comment but did you have any tips for a bent piece like you showed when hammering? I have one similar
Really all I was trying to do was hammer it to fit within the rails. As long as it fits within the width when you torque down the rails it will self adjust the length. Good luck with the project!
@@slowmotorcookay so you just kept banging it till it went back to under the 1.875 inch wide? How’s it holding up now?
@@dylan-ly1oz Pretty much exactly what I did. I've since added the butterfly brace attachment and have had great results. Still one of my favorite chassis rigidity upgrades I have done
@@slowmotorco glad to hear. I’ve been worried because mine are pancaked and I’m worried about the strength of the metal since it basically all got flattened. Heard online though that it’s less structural and more for floor pan reinforcement.
Why not go with a clutch pack, Torseen is basically the same as open but it can transfer 75% of the torque instead of 50%, it will still slip like crazy on turns with g-force.
Ease of install and price were a big factor in this. This is still very much a street build so I don't go into turns with that kind of force. I also was most interested in the final gearing being a 3.63 for the 6 speed I was prepping to swap into the car. Unfortunately I don't have the technical skills needed to change the ring and pinon myself and didn't want to shell out the cost for someone else to do it for me
@@slowmotorco Looking at this video I think you underestimate yourself, you can do it for sure with the help of internet. Clutch pack does cost more and the flaws of the Torsen are less evident at low speeds. Maybe further down the car's progress you will see the need for it. Nice Video.
@@Iseenoobpeoples I certainly hope to get there one day! Thank you for the kind words and for watching our content!
Sounds the same???
The louder whine was the power steering that also needed to be replaced
That's absolute nuts that you have to go through the inside of the console to get to the transmission fill tube!
One of the weirder places I have ever seen a fill, have to be dead on for fluid capacity!
I have a 74 1/2 MGB. I usually start it up a couple times during the winter here in NC, and come spring, it'll fire right up and run like a sewing machine. Not so this time. The battery went stone dead, as I did not start it over the past couple months. It turns over but will not idle. I placed some gas in the carb (Weber) and it'll crank but then die. I'm only 3 min. into the video, so hopefully will pick up something to help me. I really don't want to tow it to the mechanic!
I had a similar issue and ended up having to rebuild both the carbs as well as the fuel pump. It will start right up now but gas now pours from the charcoal canister so I am still trying to diagnose myself. I hope it goes smoothly for you! Best of luck
Nice tutorial. What size drill bit did you use?
5/32th bit for the rivets!
How long did it take you too drop?
I cannot recall exactly but I want to say a day or 2
Let's goooo
omg what a helpful video. Hey thanks for showing this so well. I just bought a 2000 SE with 50K on it and i suspect i will be doing this
SE with that few miles on it is a gem, I hope it treats you well and vice versa!
not saying im not a zip tie user, but why Looks way better I am definitely doing this thanks
Really cool!
Nice car
Try Napa brand engine cleaner, no work rinse fast don't let it dry. See if you can make us a video on power steering flush? I can hear yours way over here. Good work!
Power steering badly needed to be flushed! You've got a good ear
Bro can you ask your ford mechanic neighbor dose a crown Victoria has this I been trying to figure it out for a long time thanks and God bless
dude... if you don't know how to do thing correctly, call a mechanic that does. Don't be beating on the parts to release them from one another. The shifter comes right off if you twist the white plastic collar 90º and then pull it out.
All you had to do to get the lollipops off was lube, twist, and pull like your life depends on it
we'll have to give that a shot if we ever need to do it again
Nice. Saving 4-500 labor
yeah that retention ring wasnt turned all the way. so it wasnt providing enough tension.
Dope video! I’ll also be doing this soon
Thats so cool that you did that with your grandfather. You've been an inspiration to finish my B GT project.
It is a journey but one I'm glad to be on, best of luck on your GT!
harbor frieght tools failing?! none chance
Only have good things to say about tools from Harbor Freight
Another great video! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Australian Armour & Artillery Museum staff. Another Outstanding year of videos.
You can just slide the metal shield behind the flywheel without taking everything off. I did the same thing but I noticed you could just slide it in place.
You've convinced me to just take it to the shop! Thanks,
No shame in realizing it is more than you want to undertake by yourself! Thanks for watching non the less
Ugliest weld ever
Not realizing what i was doing during another job, I unbolted the holddown clamp for the synchronizer and spun it around multiple times, every which way (trying to remove it for another reason) and then decided I dont want to remove it. I repositioned it so it is facing the exact same orientation as before (which is evident due to the lack of grease where the hold down clamp was) - did i mess up any timing by doing that or am I good to start up? I never moved the crankshaft during the process so it is in the same position as before I touched the synchronizer, it is also not in TDC if that makes a difference.
Does this fix the oil gauge flickering
not to the best of my knowledge
The shift pins from what I've been told is what causes the shifter to have a oot of play. Replacing them will fix that issue.
No link?
You should be using the alignment tool kit that ford makes for the synchronizer that’s why it wasn’t wanting to slide down easy. It’s within a specific degree range and the engine has to be wound to top dead center. Are you still having issues with it ?
How is that driveshaft holding up?
Thanks for the lesson 🤩
*PromoSM* 🤘
Did you have to remove the driveshaft to install anything?
The driveshaft was off as we were doing a full clutch swap and the transmission was off the car already
Nice of you , taking care of your sisters’ car.
Those spiders were smoked
good work!!
Awesome video! Just changed my clutch and this video was very helpful. Keep up the great content!!
Glad it helped!
What engine do you have? I'm looking to buy this exhaust for my m50 E36 sedan
I have the m52 it should fit your system as long as you have the stock dual pipe midsection. I believe they specify on their website
*Promo sm* 😕
Looks sick!!
Why does everyone recommend using a Ford part for replacement when the piece of crap part I'm having to replace was a Ford part? No way I'll use a Ford part.
What brand wrap you go with?
Vinyl Frog was the brand for this color
you learn from your mistakes, and it's great to see your journey!
Thank you for the kind words!
Loved all of the old school stories when rebuilding the carbs as well as your reaction of pure automotive joy when the car actually started. At 65 I am rebuilding my 72 MGB that I have I owned since college and created a CZcams channel. As you probably know the video shooting and editing makes every task 3x longer. I enjoyed your video and thanks for posting!
Hey man do I need to replace both the synchronizer and cam sensor or can I just replace the cam sensor
The synchro is wat is making the noise not the sensor so no
Depends on the issue, if it is squeaking the whole synchro needs to be swapped. If you're getting a code for the sensor then theoretically you could just replace that. It isn't a particularly expensive part and relatively easy swap so I personally would just say to swap the whole thing
Does them motors supposed to sound like that like a whining noice ? Bc my 4.0 sounds identical
@@LandonSlade23 to be honest I think that is just the sound of those engines, I've worked on both the 3.0 and 4.0 and they have both sounded like that
Does the sensor basicslly just sit over the bolt?
No comments? What the heck. 10:11 How did the test drive go?
We're still new and don't get a ton of views/engagement yet! Test drive went well, I really felt the difference in the stiffness of the ride, and for the price it's honestly one of the better bracing upgrades I've done. I went with the FM one so I could have the option to upgrade to their butterfly bracing in the future. If tearing apart your interior doesn't scare you then it's a worthwhile upgrade!
@@slowmotorco I'm already half way through. Your video is real good.
@@merlyn2121 Thank you! We work hard on them so I'm happy to hear that
We have the full video on how we did this coming next week, stay tuned for that. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video. Why that brand?
I’m running into the exact same issue with my front shocks and I have a 4 inch lift @slowmotorco
