Did a little work. Heres the pics
Cleaning disgusting crossmember, going to paint it black or something.
Dropping trans by myself took a little bit of "negotiating."
Ugly inside. Seal gave on the slave/concentric throwout bearing.
Luckily Its nothing some brakekleen wont fix.
And finally I installed the new hydraulic line.
Still waiting on RockAuto to get my damn parts in the mail, so I can get a refund or different clutch. Im still on edge about getting ANYTHING from this company.
Hopefully I'll have it (money or clutch) within the week.

Ahh yes.. I do have quite a bit of fun, for someone whos as broke as I am.
Jet ski is mine, the powerboat we were towed with belongs to a friend.
Also
Found a latch kit for the sunroof today on ebay. 30$ isint too bad. Ill keep looking till I get the cash tho.
And.. I got conformation that rockauto recieved my return parts, so Im awaiting $ back on my card. Im going to get a slave cylinder locally and reuse the clutch. Talk about budget build.

Well, I moved the jeep onto somewhat level ground for the first time, and wouldnt ya know, it sits like a prerunner. GOTTA fix this. Need to do more research because this lift is strange. It resembles the ACOS lift system, but is not adjustable, and uses what looks to be a wrangler coil. Very short. stuffing 32s up front. Ill get a picture later. Rear appears to be stock. Its nearly stuffing 31s out back. God knows what was done to this thing
The CORRECT replacement peugeot slave cylinder should be here monday or tuesday, so I'll have a ton of pics up.
Gonna scrub the clutch and pressure plate and reuse it. Not wasting a dime on this POS trans.
