Decided to yolo the clutch. The 3d print failed part way through and I didn't want to wait to try again. Used a socket with a bolt in it that fit pretty well. Also from how it looks is if the trans slides in and it's off center at all, the first time you press the clutch pedal it should center itself since there's no pressure from the pressure plate right?
Gave the dust shield a little snip so I didn't have to take the flywheel back off, don't think it'll be an issue at all. Also they sent me 2 so now I have a second one.
Shop said they wanted the car as fully assembled as possible for the exhaust manifold so I started to throw everything back on. All the hoses from the water pump on:
Throttle body and dv relocate on:
Aux coolant pump on. I need to bolt that holds the bracket to the block but i'll just order that when I pick up the other bolts from VW tomorrow. Hoping tomorrow I can get the trans mated up along with the Stratified charge pipe.
Tossed on the motor mount bracket loosely just to make sure all my hoses were routed right. Going to replace the bolts and torque it down when I get them tomorrow:
