Todays progress - Got the auto tranny seperated from the blue engine, the pedal assemblies are out of both cars, as are the shifters. Got the clutch cylinder hydraulic lines moved from the gold to the blue car. Installed the flywheel on the blue engine (after another run to Harbor Freight for a T55 driver), and the new pilot bearing is in place. Then we found that the new clutch disk is too large for the flywheel/pressure plate! Crap! It is the proper MB part number per the EPC for the car, by VIN, but is 230mm in diameter, vs. the 200mm of the original one. Found one on-line, that is the correct diameter, to have over-nighted - hopefully we'll be able to finish the assembly, and start (if not complete) the installation Friday.
We need to determine which pair of wires going to the neutral safety switch for the auto tranny control the starter, and which are (I'm guessing) the back-up lights. One pair is easily twice the diameter of the other pair, So my guess is that the thick wires are for the starter circuit. A wiring diagram for the 201 chassis would be a help at this point --- We're now thinking that perhaps a more realistic goal is to complete the Blue car, and sell the parts that are left over, rather than trying to re-assemble the gold car as an automatic. Anyone have an idea what used 2.2 engines and matching trannys are going for now? We'll have an engine, auto tranny, and rolling chassis. -- OK Don Panic!
