What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[TyphoonFiST]

I'll pay a shop to do it LOL

Now that I've done it I'll bet I could do it in half the time....if * the lower control arm bolts aren't seized! FML

Got this Trisomy 21 Transmission out of the FiST. Here is the video everyone seems to skip out on also. Shows The transmission coming out completely....Not just a half assed removal and shown on the ground.

Back in the day, I could change the clutch in my 69 Chevelle in about 45 min. On my back in a gravel driveway with jack stands. But I was in my late 20's, not 63. LOL Dropping a tranny onto my chest and rolling it out is no longer an option.

Installed a new steering wheel cover off Amazon to protect the OEM leather. Actually fairly nice for $20 and is way more comfortable/significant when holding.

Is it a sew on cover?

I don’t think so. You just stretch it over the steering wheel. You don’t have to do it on or anything. It’s a tight fit when you put it on but it doesn’t slip at all.

I somehow managed to crack the plastic and tear the rubber of the brake fluid reservoir a few days ago while bleeding my clutch. Looked up what a new one would cost and nearly shat myself.

Quick trip to the junkyard, $2 entrance fee, $2 for a 'new' cap; all is back to normal.

How many miles were on that throwout bearing/slave?

54k* I wanna say.....But at this point I have my doubts that Fomoco actually replaced it when the transmission was last out at 26kish due to frugality

Put on the winter tires yesterday. Wondering if this third season will be their last. Looking at the RE050s, next year will definitely be their last.

Got these Mafackas just for the square end seal. This is the clutch line to the Slave. My seal disappeared from the Slave cyl to my hand even though I watched for anything carefully that could come off or fall when removing the line.

Did that same exact thing when I did my transmission and clutch swap. Snapped the line in and wondering why fluid started coming out and then realized that o-ring was still in the old slave cylinder.

What consumables/etc did you buy for the job? New case bolts or anything?

Depends on who was last in there I've found out* a fomoco meatball/ mech was last in there on mine. I found some bolts almost breaker bar rounding the head impossible to get out and others were just right. I ended up getting some new starter bolts short and longs. New lower Ball joint bolts and nuts. Carrier bearing nuts. That was about it for hardware.

Installed both the Razzter pedal spacer and pedal cover at the same time. Looking forward to a test drive. As you all know the stock pedal position for heel toe is the worst. Will report back!

Did what might be the last wash and Collinite until mid April (or at least until the very short, 'February thaw' we sometimes get here) today, taking advantage of the 60*F temps.

Still have to pull the skid plate off, and do my winter oil change soon.
