UPDATE:

Finally got the clutch/flywheel installed. Everything went smoothly, aside from my splitting migraine right after i got back from the test drive. I think it was all the smells, and the straining I did from lifting the tranny back in by myself. Yeah I'm badass.

Anyways, all the problems I had are now gone. The humming/grinding at idle coming from the shifter is gone. And the acceleration kicking I had is also gone. I think it was just poor break in period and faulty throw out bearing. I took pics of most of the removal process I'll post them up tonight.

During the job I also installed an eBay aluminum crank pulley with new front seal. Well the seal was the root of my oil leak. Even after I changed the oil pan gasket, and rear main on my last tranny pull, the car was STILL leaking. Turns out the front seal was leaking bad enough to run back all the way to the tranny. So now my shits tight as a drum.

The only bad thing about the pulley install was that the new eBay pulley doesn't come with timing marks. And to make them properly you have to compensate for the smaller diameter. I didn't feel like doing this so I'm just going to wait for my brother to buy his UR pulley and just swap the timing marks over to mine. Should work perfect since mine is an exact replica of the UR pulley.

Here's the belt sizes I used, the instructions that came with the pulley are retarded. this is for the S13 KADE, other years might be different!
Alternator - 4PK0725, stock belt was 4PK0775. 725mm fits perfect.
PS/Water Pump - 3PK0980, stock belt was 3PK0995. 980mm fits perfect.
No A/C for ME!!

I'll get the pics uploaded tonight. Overal since this was my third time pulling the tranny, I've gotten quite good at it. I learned how not to let the tranny rest on the input shaft when installing. Bought a 33 gallon Craftsman compressor brand new for $160 from Sears (open box item). Makes working alone so much easier. Reminds me of my shop days...... Figured out how to remove the crank pulley with air tools and only removing the fan to get to it (no A/C of course).

I can't wait to get the clutch broken in so I can test out the new revs. Thanks guys for all your help. If anyone has any questions regarding my install just ask.

later.
