[Shotimes] Intro New guy New SHO

[DAVID PILLSBURY]

No actually this thing is not leaking anywhere not even coolant I check it everyday just to make sure it did not go somewhere. The engine seems like it's been very well maintained. I just figured with a clutch inspection and that throw out bearing buzz I have I would do the rear main while I was in there a bit of stop it before it happens. 
Clutch is more then I paid for it so are the tires I'm about to order from Tirerack. It's not hard to spend more in parts when you only paid 350 for it. 
I think this weekend I'll sort out the power door lock mess.

Welcome Dave. Being able to do your own work will be helpful. Pulling the
clutch on a SHO is a fairly involved process (support the engine, drop the
subframe, pull the tranny, etc). Since you mentioned the rear main, I
assume the car is leaking oil. In any case, if you're going to go through
the trouble of doing that work, you should consider replacing the clutch,
although the cost of buying a new one will be as much or more than what you
paid for the car!

Since you got to this list, you know about shotimes. There are still a good
number of vendors out there that sell parts. I recently bought a clutch
from shonutperformance.com. Heavy duty PP, 9-puck disk and ceramic TOB. 
This is the best clutch I've ever used.
