Just wanted to give a major shout out to Jason and TerrapinMFG! I ordered the firewall reinforcement kit last week and received it in the mail this morning. I waited until my son went to bed then started tearing the ole girl apart. It is very straight forward. I only had to slightly tweek the bracket to get everything lined up.
My firewall was cracked running out both bolt holes from the clutch master cylinder and the transmission was very hard to get into second and reverse without grinding the hell out of the gears. First was damn near impossible. I installed the firewall plate and just got back from a test drive. All I can say is WOW, what a world of difference. I can actually use first gear again if ever needed and I have zero issues shifting into any other gear. I do however need to replace my clutch master cylinder rod as it is starting to oval out but that will come in time.....maybe tomorrow.
Thanks again,
Jason
