My Daughter got a 2006 Matrix to replace the Durango (RIP). She got it cheep because it needed a church. So I got to replace the clutch for Fathers Day. Got the Trans out. Clutch and flywheel should be here Tuesday.
Pretty quiet in here... what are you working on? (7 Viewers)

Did a DUI install on Scott's 40. Ordered brake parts from Ryan and slee. Probably need to get extea seals for the front hubs since they have to come off for the brakes. Is there actually a tech day on the 29th?

Just working on things...
Drilled and slotted tho #priorities
Added BFG 275/70/18 KO2s and detailed the exterior - wash, clay, compounding, and waxed.
Now crafting on my “we need to remove the steps and add sliders” sales pitch to the wife.

Chris- How heavy is the transaxle assembly compared to a land cruisers? And is the weight offset or sort of centered?
You're all ready for Coal Mine now!

About the same weight. But very combersome off sided weight distribution. Taking it out was the easy part. Putting it back in will be the challenge.
Is that hydraulic suspension?
Not wrenching yet, just working on the frustration of quick overnight trip home to CLT where I found the wife's 97 LX with a puddle of coolant under the bumper. Seems the original radiator started to separate along the front top seam and was parked pointing downhill. Ugh. At least I caught it in time. Would've probably missed it if I hadn't turned on the flood lights to take the garbage can to the curb. She sure as hell wouldn't have noticed it until it blew! Time to order parts...
I wanna say that I can use an earlier metal radiator, like on my '94, right?

A hydraulic clutch actually. Its a neat system in these cars that are shared with Ferraris. Hopefully I can get the little pump motor out tomorrow. You basically have a legit manual transmission but no clutch pedal!

You mean metal tanks instead of the plastic? I thought all those were aftermarket. The Arizona boys seems to like the TYC aluminum radiator with plastic end tanks.
Just checked my newish ‘94 radiator. Plastic tanks. Not sure why I thought it was metal. I probably got mixed up with something else that Onur got me that was “cooler than the rest”.

I think the 93/94 OEM radiators are copper cores and the 95-97 are aluminum cores. That might be it. But I think both are still plastic end tanks. If you look them up there's a good bit of cost different between the 2. Or maybe it was 3 rows versus 2 rows, IDK.
