im going to have to buy a brand new slave and CMC which sucks.

I don't think it sucks, after 18 years of use there's no way I would have put those in my car. I bought both cylinder and slave new at Rockauto. No problems yet

aww it is no fun driving a tgp around unless there is ominous fear of being left on the side of the road due to something such as a bad CS130!!!! :laugh:

This 5 speed swap is officially FAIL as of right now. Either the fork is broke, t/o bearing screwed or clutch is busted... Need to tow the car to storage to rip it back apart. FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL Oh well it was fun while it lasted : )

Hey, don't feel too bad I still have to rip mine back apart so that I can put a stronger clutch into it. The stage 1 spec cluch was not strong enough, going to a stage 3 6 puck one.

UPDATE- IT WORKS.... just messed with it to death and left if for about a week, came back and it worked! Couldnt believe it! Putting the car into storage to do finishing touches.... plan on beating the life right out of it next spring for causing all these headaches...

anyways, thanks to everyone for helpin me through this swap... i almost gave up like 5 times and stripped the car...someone would have definately bought the gray leather interior....
