And They Said it Couldn't be Done!!
Put in the Whiteline rear Tranny bushing and the Perrin support, TOGETHER!!
I was told not compatible, but give me something to potentially screw up and I'll find a way! Used an air tool and a sharp little bit to open up the hole in the Whiteline bushing JUST enough to squeeze the Perrin in there. And holy Moses, it is a night and day difference. I have never felt so connected to my machine, sounds and feels like a beast! Make sure to hit up Jeremy @FT-86 SpeedFactory and Jeff and Chris down @PERRIN to get yours!! http://www.ft86club.com/forums/pictu...pictureid=3232 |
You have a detailed and focused photo?

I tried a ton to get it to focus on the foreground and it wouldn't. I wasn't planning on putting these in today, but there was a lift available and I didn't have my camera. Everything fits like a glove in there though!

OMG @Batman...this is fantastic. Funny I was thinking about this today. I have both parts and I have been told they wont fit as well as the perrin is bigger in diameter than the Whiteline part. What di you use to increase the size of that hole? I remember having to shed about 4-5 mil of the hole so any help of how you did it would be grately appreciated. How big was the drill bit you have used?

http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/6...bit-finger.jpg We tried it in a cordless drill and it wouldn't even shed some yellow.. So we stuck it in an air tool and it tore right in. We went a couple tries, and ended up getting it just JUST barely smaller than the perrin, so that they would stay together if we pushed it on. Then as I tightened the bolt on the bottom it all sealed right in together! Surprisingly very easy! |

Our drill bit was somewhat small, so we just ground down the outsides of the hole and kept placing it up to the Perrin to gauge how much more was needed.

I know this is a pain in the ass to do..., but it sounds like it is worth while.

The thing is I have the positive shift bushing as well, and the whiteline rear bushes too. And if I go under the car, I am doing all of them not just one: Perrin transmission mount, perrin positive shift bushing, Whiteline part. And If I have time whiteline bushes. So it will probably be quite hard to pinpoint which part contributes to what, but still...I am sure I will feel the difference. You said you heard the difference? Any more noise than normal from the transmission? or what ? |
Thats a pretty cool find. but question, with all that stiffening wouldn't you have to stiffen up the motor mounts as well? if the motor is moving around wouldn't that put more stress on the tranny?

Nice. We are going to do the same here and see how it works out. Videos of it with just whiteline alone and then add the perrin part. Just have to find the time.
