Would 94 GSI lowered springs fit on DA9 shocks??

**mooshie** · 07-09-2011 12:10 PM

They will fit on the shocks but the rear end will sit really low as the DAs have longer rear shocks and springs

Ok ,

so just tried to lift tranny up from bottom , didn't work, can anyone explain how the tranny should be facing as it goes up so that it doesn't become stuck on the pressure plate and the side tranny mount ? dunno if it usually just goes nearly straight up , or needs to be twisted a certain way to clear everything on the way up?

i have everything out of the way according to the helms manual , and i only have the side tranny mount on the tranny,
any help appreciated guys =)

I would say you need to take the tranny mount off the g/box to get sufficient clearance. Might help a little to tilt the engine down at the flywheel.

bolt the gearbox loosen the other mounts then the mount in prob need to remove the plate under mount too

MEEEEEE

hi Guys,

So i have made my first real big fcuk up,

i got bolts mixed up a while ago and put a bolt in the side tranny mount that was too long, after taking Stevo's advice on removing the whole side tranny mount for extra clearance installing the gearbox from the bottom, i noticed a nice big whole that shouldn't be there where i have pushed the bolt through thinking it was just a shit bolt( how retarded )
lucky car hasn't been driven at all

so my guess is my bell-housing is rooted, and my question is if i open the gearbox up and clean out any metal fragments from the hole that might be in there and install a new bell housing , should i be right then?

would this be a hard thing to do ?
cheers guys

What transmission do you have? S1 or Y1?
It would be easier to replace if its a S1 since they're quite cheap anyways.

no fluid goes in there, just clean around the thrust bearing and input shaft
