Got it. I have a house in Santa Fe New Mexico. The saying there is your on Santa Fe time (which translated means maybe today or tomorrow or whenever).

Got it, so now comes the fun part.

Update -
For my reinstall, I purchased and fitted a Tilton hydraulic center release bearing, so I won't be using the lever arm and slave.

Hi Dean,

Do you mind sharing which Tilton slave cyl you ended up with?

Thanks, Barry

I've dropped a couple of e-mails since I got the e-mail information at the beginning of Sept but no reply. I'll start trying to phone this coming week - the car is in a shop for paint over the winter and they'll do the trans swap if I can provide the kit.
Started back working last Dec. and am working too many hours at a rate that I can pay someone to do the job. Funny: we're providing engineering services on a $ 6 billion (or so) natural gas pipeline job; the project manager is a 62 year old or so full time guy; me and the other two most senior engineers all worked together 20 years back, and we've all been retired for the last five years. And we're the best available! Maybe like good wine? Or just a shortage??? Good Grief!

Barry,

I could not get it to work. There is just not enough room in the back of the bellhousing to host the center release bearing, and that was after machining most of the bearing away.

I should have mentioned that earlier... Seemed like a good idea and worked well on the HVDA Toyota kit I installed in me Peerless (ala Tr3 drivetrain). There is just a little more room in that bellhousing.

Dean,
Would you be interested in selling your old bell housing?
