Bilsteins for breakfast. YUM YUM
We used wooden blocks under the engine and tranny to angle it slightly up at the front. Then, once we had the shift linkage in the hole lifted the rear with our engine hoist to level it back up before lowering the car into place. Our lift is very hard to modulate but we managed somehow.
These were on the transmission drain plug magnet when we drained the fluid today! Problem? We are glad we waited till it was back in the car so we are less tempted to fix anything right now. Car shifts great. We'll fix it when it breaks I guess.
Added fluids. Job done. Runs like a charm.
Drives too:
I drove it to soccer last night and then home. Car is a lot quieter from the valves now and smoother too. Can't say if it's any quicker. New Bilsteins feel more connected to the road. Did have a slight oil leak from the oil tank area last night. Will check that out today.
Very happy and will not hesitate to drop this again. Thanks for your input and advice.
Wow what a build! Thanks for sharing!
