Awesome. Now get the 3.80 final drive gear and put that in before you stick the trans in

Just using the cl-s6 ecu first.
You would've love to see how I compressed my tensioner then.
I compressed it in between a floor jack and the frame of my truck.
New cam and crank seals installed.
CLS6 timing installed.
I had to shim the cam sensors a little more using the 6 speed stuff with the 08tls cams.

6mt swapped..smart
Yay, you got the pedal spacer I mentioned in a previous thread. It will save you mucho headaches. BUT I would put it on the engine bay side instead. This way the pedal still sits flush with the firewall. Otherwise the pedal bracket's going to flex from the space and probably eventually crack. It happened to me

Get rid of the damper for the clutch, and yes, the 6 speed doesnt have/use the coolant sensor in the head.

I just bought all the damper stuff.where were you when i was asking about what to delte from the clutch line stuff.
I think all i want to do is modify the slave just not sure how.

Definitely cool you're DIY'ing. Also cool you found a 6MT trans to put in it (none near me.. )

dunno if this would work but ... you could try putting on a bent defouler which will give u some slack back and will reposition the o2 sensor to be parallel with the j pipe vs being perpendicular.
i did this when i did the xlr8 high flow cat. xlr8 sells the defouler which he reccommended and it gave me the slack i needed and got rid of the code it likely would produce from the emmissions being worse

My wide band o2 sensor is right under the engine and its a tight fit and I got it back on but I did order a 45 for the sensor and its already here.
Problem today is I cant turn the motor over by hand.
Finished up just about everything except the interior harnesses today and deceided to turn the motor over and its locked. With the cam covers off i can turn the shafts a touch in either direction so I dont think its binding there.
Blead lines to the slave and have a hard pedal.
removed starter
It just locked at the crank.
Does the motor stay locked if no one is pressing the clutch or do I have something installed wrong ?
