So i started the engine/tranny/subframe pull for my massive project to include:

764 PP/RS4.0 Disc 964RS LWFW
Drill and tap tranny for slave conversion
GT3CUP Sachs shocks(1100lb/1000lb)
GT3cup rear control arms
GT3CUP toe links
GT3 front control arms w/ solid caster pucks
Tie rods
Rear subframe solid bushings
Remove fwd diff
Front adjustable sway
GT3cup LSD
GT3cup shift cables
Tranny mount bushing upgrade
GT3RS underdrive pulley
GT3cup front spindles
Adjustable sway links
Pin coolant lines
Front camber plate
Rear strut pillowball

 

When you pull the subframe bushings, prepare for a fight. I ended up having to build a puller for the bushing with pipe, coupler nuts and allthread. What a pain in the ****!

 

So i got the transmission separated and found the cause of my slipping clutch. It appears as though my pressure plate diaphragm was cracked. Also, found that my slave was leaking quite badly which explains the horrible engagement. Thankfully will be ditching this stock slave piece of garbage for a manual setup. I also pushed out the transmission mount bushings, media blasted and pushed in the torque solution inserts.

 

While removing the stock diff I was alarmed to find that the driver's side LSD carrier bearings were shot. Like extremely worn. To the point that I suspect the precious owner may have taken a pretty severe curb hit on the passenger side forcing the driveshaft into the transmission stub axles. No clue how else this kind of wear could happen. The good news is the ring and pinion look great. No signs of any damage. Same for the diff cover.

Also, drilled and tapped the bell housing for the manual slave. Super easy! Glad I am not going the adapter bracket route.

A few showing the studs for the slave and the factory open differential.

 

Wow lucky find on that bearing before stuff melted down!

 

Nice project you've got going on.. I've got some of those mods in my future as well.

 

That looks like lots of fun - Good luck!

 

Very nice. Looking forward to seeing it come together - and your impressions of the Cup suspension. But... Diiiuuuude! You need to spend some quality time with your garage and do some serious cleaning up! Looks a bit like the Sanford & Son set.

 

Not my garage. It is a friend who is letting me use his lift. His garage is filled on one side with a 1969 911 project and it's parts. The back end is the machine shop and CNC that he recently acquired. His plan is the lift will be moved to a larger shop elsewhere and the machine shop will be entirely this location.

 

Then - good job in getting a lift to use!

 

Installed the cup rear dogbones and the adjustable toe links as well and finished the clutch PP installation(now that I have the correct bolts 🙄)

 

Another thing to note, the cup rear dogbones are quite beefy compared to the rubber bushed factory turbo ones. The metal arms are probably 1/4" wider.

 

Installed the front tarrett adjustable sway links. Really nice pieces.
