5 Speed swap
#41
So I fired her up today. Now I have to change the coolant hose and slave cylinder since its leaking like crazy .
I must say though that for a car that had been sitting a while she started right up. The S4 cluster seems a little off rpm wise but thats to be expected but it did feel good to see"press clutch to start".

Just waiting for my buddy to get back in town with his vag com so I can change the values on the cluster.

Well if I had to rate it I'd have to say an 7.5-8. It's certainly harder than an oil change but not as bad as a motor swap. But then again I have been messing with cars most of my life so my 7.5-8 may be someones 10 or more. That's the reason I tried to make it as detailed as possible, if you read thorugh it and feel like you can do it go for it I'll gladly help anywhere I can.

The belt went on a lot easier after I removed this roller (for some reason mine came pre assembled)

Next up probably break down and buy a snub mount I've been putting it off but Since the front end is already off I might as well. I'll have all of the other belts (all brand new)installed tomorrow. Also changed my cam seals those were fun too.
