No clutch! 2nd gen runner

Yea, I guess that would be the other option. After all the tranny work, I just wasnt in the mood to do anything with the motor, ha. I did pull the pickup for ease though. Rear master and oil pan should go on tonight. Replace ifs and steering, then onto the clutch, clutch master and slave. Every plate and bracket that has come off is freshly sand blasted and painted already. Last big thing is weld up and redrill/tap the stripped threads in the bell housing for the slave mount

Rear main went fine. Oil pan did not. I bought a cork gasket set instead of just using RTV. The set comes with two gaskets, one for either side of the plate that goes on before the pickup. I knew the bolt length would be close because of the added thickness. But in the end the were too short to start. So I guess it's back to just RTV... Does that 'splash' plate really need to be there?
