With the help of a friend in the albany area, last night we finally got the
transmission outta my 93 green winter car, Found the TOB had cut off some PP
fingers, and guts of the TOB were inside the PP and what not. So I found out
why is never really shifted right I guess. The prize for accurate diagnosis
goes to Mark Nunnally, casue he said " sounds like the TOB and PP are messed
up" when I was thinking about buying the car.
Ok so on to my question. I have blue staining on the metal of the stock FW,
which I am pretty sure is damage from heat, but given this car's winter
beater status, should I bother refacing the FW, or at the very least
swapping it to a spart stock FW that I have, that is not heat blued but not
regoround? I really really hate to cut corners and not regrind a FW, but
this car is already going to cost me a set of AL SFB's, new front sway links
(or used ones if anyone has some), 4 Exhaust studs, and a set of tools to
remove the broken off studs. All in all it's closing in on extra moneys that
I don't want to spend on the car, all for the sake of parking my Opal Frost
for the winter.
Should I bite the bullet and have a FW reground? Or will it be ok just
slapping a clutch in there, and just driving it as is. I have a nearly new
clutch, PP, TOB combo from Mark as well, and I don't want to ruin them cause
I cheaped out on a FW grind, even if the car is only gonna see maybe 4-5
months of use.
Thanks
