I'm driving with no speedo right now waiting for the freaking VSS from MC also.
Can you list all the part numbers for the pedal assembly? :-)

Just concerned about DM's prices vs. ordering direct from dealer. He obviously makes money on these parts. I saved quite a few bucks ordering from Elmhurst/Champion/Carson when doing my R154 swap.
BTW, I talked to MC about the VSS. They told me that you need to get on a waiting list and they will call you when VSSs become available. It has nothing to do with if/when you order. So call them up and get your name on the list.

Oh well Aaron did that for me. And well yeah you're right about the prices. I didn't think about that one. Maybe I should have researched this before I purchased the parts. too late now lol. Hey you used the mk3 driveshaft and sc300 rear section driveshaft? would the auto sc300 rear shaft work?

So today I'm going down to the machine shop. Hopefully they're ready to run my adaptor plate. And I also gotta see about the shifter extension.

hell yeah dude I plan on boosting but first I want to do this 5spd swap. After all this is done I'll start saving up for a twin turbo kit. I already have the intercooler so that's a start lol.

I thank Matt for the quick explanation on the Hydraulic Throwout Bearing. About the driveshaft... I need an MK3 Turbo Driveshaft because that's transmission I have. Its off a 90 MK3 Turbo. So i need the front part of the driveshaft and the rear side of an sc300. I don't know if I can use the rear side of my sc400 driveshaft. does anyone know?

Yes on the driveshaft part.
The Howe bearing is a slave/TO bearing 1 in unit - popular on many American cars (some T56's, Rangers, etc). Its a diaphragm that expands when you fill it with fluid.

It's a turbo kit that I built. There's no pre-made turbo kit as of today. I'm in OC. There's several SC members here in either LA or OC and we're still hanging out. If you want to join us, you're welcome.
