Re: 6VD1 Auto to Manual Conversion started

Fingas crossed with the pedal - my SWB had a aftermarket metal plate riveted to the brake pedal and no questions were asked when I take it in for a WOF - that I 'd consider as a mod from the rubber pad. So to avoid the thought I've gone out to get a stock pedal for the manual just as a precaution ...

Re: 6VD1 Auto to Manual Conversion started

Bloody small space to get the Clutch pedal and master cylinder free, just need to drill a hole in the LWB firewall so the master cylinder and pedal can link. I found someone has boxed & mounted the ECU onto the studs for the pedal and master cylinder so will need to find an alternative for the ECU ...

Re: 90km/hr Vibration - CV Inner/Outer

Ahhhh - yes missed the parallel point with the flanges - Shackles? I couldn't see any as I have springs. Sorry no bent driveshaft that would've been picked up at the balance shop. So is my mod missing a mod for the rear end? Cheers for dropping in slightlydodgy.

Re: 90km/hr Vibration - Ball joint mod found

Well found out the ball joints have been modified - they're fitted under the control arms. No spacers are fitted on the rear springs. I noticed the driveshaft is angled downwards (not excessively IMO) on to the diff flange but didn't consider it being an issue until now. So I'll adjust the torsion ...

Re: 90km/hr Vibration Update

Re: 90km/hr Vibration - CV Inner/Outer

They are pretty tight thanks mudslinger but I guess one would have to dismantle each item to really see if there is any worn parts
