finally got back outside --
got the flywheel/crank pulley torqued down
no pictures but got the clutch also torqued
tranny bolted up
somehow, during the struggle of getting the tranny to slide in, i lost the spring that goes under the shifter plate. i was able to order one from a nissan dealership in Massachusetts so I didnt seal that just yet. Ill have the fun task of doing it in the car again
got the motor in and my friends got the driveshaft in.
should be one more day to hook up the harness, do my belts, throw in the radiator and fill it, and hook up the intercooler pipes
