Wheels

LS trans had the main countershaft ball-bearing fail, causing the shaft to violently disengage gears, especially in 2nd gear during deceleration. oddly, when i took it apart, the rest of the transmission was mint. I replace it with a GSR transmission.

The stock clutch lasted until 105k or so, with extra meat left on the friction surface, its just that the marcel springs were heat damaged and were just about ready to fall out.

The first radiator i had with the bent core support for the longest time, like 2 years. i replaced it with a used one from Chrispiss after i got the core replaced, then that one had a hairline leak on the top end tank, so I put the original bent one back in, and after a few months the top end tank just gave up. So i replaced with another.

 

some people may think i'm hard on my car now, but after the first year of owning my car I stopped doing a lot of the stupid shit i used to do (excessive canyon running, powershifting, fontana etc etc). even then, i rarely take my slow ass LS engine to redline anyway. Most of the work was for maintenance or strictly out of necessity from other unseen circumstances.
