Looking to swap a 5spd into the van by the beginning of next month. All I have is the pedal assy out of an '89 Shadow.
Could the guts in a 523 hold up to around 325 WHP and some serious beaten on? I was looking at this clutch from Cindy: http://www.fwdperformance.com/store/...&ProductID=570 This is for the small spline trannys, I know the 523 has a large spline, I' know she has this same clutch for the larger spline. The only difference on her page was the year of the vehicle, I'm not sure if that matters...
She reccommended upgrading to the 2,100 lb DD PP but that's an additional $105. Would it really be neccessary? I will be doing some drag racing in it, but mainly it's just a street vehicle.
Away from that. What can I use as far as cables go? Am I all alone with a van here? Do I have to go to the dealer and gather all 3 cables?
Looking at Donovan's page on the mini 5spd swap, he used the Shadow cables. This of course will be okay then, right? I think I still have these...
Any weird things about a 90 K-frame vs an 89 K-frame?? I think they're all the same. Shouldn't matter as we'll have to weld the strut bracket in wherever. Just making sure about this.
Any other tips and info would be great. Thanks.
