Looking for install help...

Is there a drivetrain guru here that wants to a make a few extra bucks? I'm getting the TIC Super Shifter kit (kartboy shifter, bushings and TIC bushings) sometime soon, and just wanted to see if anyone wanted to install it for me

 

Let me rephrase... this install would take me probably 8 hrs because I'm kind of a dunce, so I just wanted to enlist the help of the atlanta crew!

 

Very good point.... I got BEER!! and lots of company... I love to talk SUBYS!!! Install day sounds good too... anyone up for one soon? burrrrrr.....

 

I have to mess with my shifter too. I've seen Will take apart my shifter about 4 times so I know some of his short cuts. Let me know when you had dates in mind.

 

well i should have all the stuff by monday, but i'm travelling to KC all next week for work so maybe next weekend?

 

Sounds good, but know this up front. Without a vise or a press, we aren't going to be able to put in those TIC bushings. The rest should mount up fine.

Mpaone has a press. I'll see what he is up to next weekend.

 

i need an install day, still have gotten these springs on!

 

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! those are my secrets damnit!

 

I'm damn stoked!! Somehow, I knew, that just putting the word out there was enough.... I LOVE THE WRXATLANTA CREW!!

 

I had to use a vice to get the bushings on the 4 way knuckle in. They are a tight fit. If someone knows a better way, please let me know.

We may have to take out the knuckle and drive up to Mike's house. I don't want to volunteer him for an install day at his place (although his shifter needs some attention too)

 

^^^I put the bushings in a jug of heated water (not boiling though), made them easy to squeeze in with no press.

 

i love me some hot-water-ingenuity!!

 

won't hot water caused them to expand? I usually freeze bushings.

 

it makes them more pliable.

 

Hot Water and a rubber mallet FTW...

 

Well, I think I'm gonna be busy this weekend... getting married in November and the planning/BS has already begun Either way, I will be in town all next week, how long does the install take? maybe one evening?

 

next week is better for me too. If all goes well this could be an hour or two

 

SCHWEET... next week it is! who else is coming??

 

Aight, well, here I sit on a Sunday afternoon... and since I didn't plan anything, I got nothing to do How about we plan on a day to knock this stuff out, anyone in? How about tomorrow!! (Monday 3/3)

 

I need to install some springs too, when can we shoot for an install day?

 

How about an install evening... maybe Tuesday night?

 

installing those TiC bushing will take a while, doing it at night will only make it harder.

 

I did my Kartboy...

 

Let me know when that's happening Brett... I have a cat-back to install and can always use someone to talk to other than myself and the underside of my Subie.

 

i'm down to help anytime........and have a warm garage..

payment: beer and food...

 

How long did your install take? and was it the full Super Shifter set?

 

I got the beer... I'm just DYING for time! How far away from midtown is Duluth, anyway?

 

I want help installing a crank pulley!!!!
