[urq] Clutch for 20vt install?

[Brandon Rogers]

Great! Next time you're in Denver, Scott, you should do my tranny R&R to
keep your madskillzyo current.  2.5 swaps last summer was more than enough
for me!

Good eye Dennis!
Actually that only took a couple hours to get figured, but the actual pin
problem was found with a magnetic screwdriver inadvertently touching the pin
without sticking...  Doh!  The bigger issue was the 7mm thickness
specification.  Between trying to shorten the slave pin, then trying to
modify the TOB/Fork to accomodate the problem, we had a total of some 6
trans R&R.  After making a jig for it on the press, then translating the
measures, it became obvious 2 things:  Clutch specifications are much
smaller than I'd have believed, and 2, there's not a lot of room in that
bellhousing to get creative...  Needless to say,  with all that practice,
even to this day I can now do an urq clutch swap in pretty short order.

Also found out at the time BTW, that on 




this particular early FW - Fidanza put the timing pin in the correct
location, 




but it was an aluminum pin not steel.   

Oh wow, how long did it take to diagnose that one, or were you
fortunate/observant enough to notice before install?
