Here's a few pictures of what I found in the pan when I took it off of the old transmission: One edge is smooth, the other jagged like it broke off.....what is it from?
New bowden cable installed on new transmission, its actually quite easy to replace...
New wastegate hose (they're expensive!

) for the motor....it had needed this for a while:
Nice shiny bowden cable adjustment:
A/C compressor delete: So far this year we've only had about 4 days over 85 degrees....no need for A/C here
Neat shot of the exhaust turbine in the turbo....
That's about all the pics I took, I was working at a vicious pace to get the car done by the weekend, so little time to stop and take pics. It drove beautifully this past weekend on my camping trip....have put over 220 miles on it so far!
