Things I did this weekend

Today was a productive day at the shop.
- Installed Rocky Mountain Westy Adapter Plate & Flywheel
- Installed new Sachs Clutch kit
- Installed new VW shift linkage to the transmission
- Removed old, rear drive axles
- Changed transmission fluid to new Redline MT-90.  Put in 3.7 qts and it never leaked out the fill-hole.  I stopped at that since Bentley manual says 3.2-3.7 qts.
- Worked through minor wiring harness question with my mentor, Paul.

Here are the highlight reel from the day's activities:

Metal shavings on the magnetic transmission drain plug.

Newly installed shift linkage

Axle missing from transmission side.

Axle missing from the wheel side.

Using a wrench to torque down flywheel bolts

And, finally!  Adapter plate, flywheel and clutch installed on the Subaru.
