spiff Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 5 days of intense wrenching action and head scratching last week resulted in a L28ET breathing again for the first time in about 3 years last friday, just in time for a track event on saturday Thanks for all the help all of you provided when efi wiring and ignition troubles almost got the better of me, and fast replies too! Here's a short video of the car streching it's legs! Engine has performed flawlessly since startup, not a single hiccup all weekend but unfortunately I got some air in my clutch line during the event which resulted in some gear crunching and me not being able to down shift on the way home.... I have since bled the clutch line and can now engange all gears but reverse is still crunching. I think maybe the syncro rings might have taken a hit there.... Good thing I'm installing the borgwarner t5 soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 If you have the stock ZXT transmission I don't think that it has a reverse synchro. Might still be air in the lines. Looks like fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z240 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Sounds great. Nice feeling when it all comes together, yes? I'm guessing you don't have the air in the clutch thing solved. You likely need a new clutch master. Its leaking.... They are pretty cheap to replace. Do the slave at the same time. Your syncro's are just fine, you're just not releasing the clutch the whole way.

spiff Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Right now I'm using the stock 4-speed from the L28E as I have not yet shortened the ZXT driveshaft. Maybe, can't see anything leaking at the master cylinder but when taking the car out from storage this spring the clutch line going to the slave cylinder was wet, so yes; I'm replacing the slave cylinder and the hose. I have also gotten an offer on a Spec clutch so I'm replacing all of that when installing the zxt transmission Sounds great. Nice feeling when it all comes together, yes? That feeling when it first fires up, that's why we do this isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
