While trans is in the car and the valve body out here is an air test you can do to check your 3rd gear. 3rd gear is Forward Clutch and Reverse - High Clutch on.

stock fuel tank here.

It had a "cage" in it when it was purchased aka exhaust piping welded in with roll bar padding on it ......

On a different note, i started working on it today finally, not on the tranny though. Got the interior gutted and gettingg it prepped for the new interior ( had spray painted black panels in it. Also found out the car was factory white. Also it had some honda prelude seats in it, those are out, going with a black and grey race seat.

Workin on the tranny this weekend.
