project e30 m3 s52, exploded

[equate975]

Well, I was going to finish today... I just needed to add all the fluids... But me not having any friends I tried to bleed my clutch on my own, left the bleed screw for the slave shut, and exploded it in my tranny....

I quit, you dont even understand how mad I am right now, dropping a tranny is the last thing I want to do.

Oh.... I'm sorry man...

wow, u quit on the project???

[equate975]

Im just going to take it to a shop to get finsihed off, this is basically what im going to have them do:

Fix my slave cylinder
Bleed the brakes
Align
Tranny fluid change
Bolt the tie rod ends down
Put in some coolant
And fill my diff up

Easy stuff for the most part, I am just too fed up with this swap to do it. I just wanna drive it.

It will all be worth it once you first go full throttle and bang thru the gears, trust me :)

One of these days it will be done.

[deathray187]

ah screw it, its not worth your time anyway.

I'll be over with a truck in a couple hours to take this horrid thing away from you, if you could be so kind as to sign the title before I get there I'd really appreciate it.








I kid! I kid!

I can sympathize....I just want to drive my creation (as does every friend and remote acquaiantance within a 3 hour drive).

sorry to hear, atleast you dont have much more to do.
so what was it that happened again? the rod blew out of the end of the slave? was it not seated in the clutch fork or something?

here is a tip that could have saved me a lot of money when dealing with shops. You will run into situations where you could either get a more expensive part now, or a cheaper part a day or 2 later. Go for the cheaper part, even though you may think that it will solve all your problems. These parts add up

Also, make sure the water pump is in good working condition!

I'm sure when its finished you will make some friends.
