hey mate, if it makes you feel better I was without my car for a year when it was in the build. I Literally didnt get to peel my rego sticker off the vicroads form, such waste

hey mate, it will be all worth it, believe me

will find out what the problem is over the next week, so not sure what it is as yet..
yes i've got power steering, much easier than without it (never used to have power steerin)
motor's going back 2morow arvo, hoping it's nothin 2 major

yeh no lsd
i need to pull the box apart to find out why the reverse light switch isn't being triggered (my reverse lights are stuck on if i plug them in), and check out the clutch issue and replace the release bearing.
checked the reverse light switch and tried another i had but jus not working
ah well.. need the box out anyway!

I recently had my gearbox reco'd and i have the same problem with the reverse lights. They stay on when plugged in. Let us know if you figure the problem out.

Actually i can help you with this one. i had this problem where the reverse lights stayed on after a gearbox `rebuild. the problem probably is not the switch or the wiring, there is suppose to be a ball bearing behind the switch, just like your gear selectors. With it missing it will cause the reverse light to stay on. Hope this solves the problem

Im pretty sure thats the same clutch as im running(the xreme)...ivedone 30,000Kms since my rebuild and still Not a worry Its holding up sweet

yeh its not the clutch, love the clutch, just the release bearing is farked n think the clutch slave cyl might be causing some issues...
