Trent0 The Toxic Rocket Donating Members 574 Member For: 14y 9m 1d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 19/04/19 06:03 AM Author Share Posted 19/04/19 06:03 AM Got the Ute up and running again last week. Clutch feels great, it drives beautifully (re-tuned it on 98 using PCMtec) making about 620rwhp (qld, sorry lol) The dowelled crank/flywheel, done by TBRE. Not welded, has some crazy super heavy duty loctite on the threads. You can see where the ARP head of the bolt was having a roll around. Flywheel surface is g2g, gave it a good clean before fitting the clutch. I have a photo of the pitted cam lobe to upload as well, this site won't let me though (130kb max). It was one of TBRE's originals, it was a BLANK from FORD that was made to his stage 1 specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent0 The Toxic Rocket Donating Members 574 Member For: 14y 9m 1d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 24/09/19 06:00 AM Author Share Posted 24/09/19 06:00 AM Last week I ordered a new tail shaft from GJ Drivelines. It's a Pro Series - $1890 for anyone curious. Super simple to fit up - really nice looking bit of gear. After fitting, it felt good to drive around. I noticed under acceleration for 50+ I'd get some not so great vibrations. I'd noticed lately that jamming it in lower gears the gear stick would move a considerable amount (with engine torque). Turns out my gearbox mounts were shagged. I was able to replace them for $50 and only took me 20mins to do! Thinking this solved my issues, I took another test drive. No luck. I'd noticed a clunk developed in the front end over the past week as well after driving on some rough roads the weekend prior, I put it down to a flogged out bush. After having a hunch and checking the engine mounts, I'd discovered I had a missing mount nut 😕 Still trying to source something that fits. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? *Feels* like it's coming from the rear. Either hard acceleration or foot+brake it starts up. Cruising at 100, nadda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
