James and Jake came over on Friday arvo while I was at work to get a start on James' car. We'd planned to remove the engine out of his XT and install a GrimSpeed catless up pipe, new engine mounts and a new clutch.
I arrived home at about 5pm on Friday and by the time they had to leave at 6, most of the big stuff was out.
Started at 7am on Saturday and by about 2:30, the engine was out. Thought it wasn't too bad considering none of us had done it before!
Did all the work while it was out and scrubbed everything down with a toothbrush. It looks brand new 
By about 9pm, the engine was back in place ready for bolting up. Decided to smash through it and get it done no matter how long it took! That took until 3:30am!
It started first go with one CEL due to the wrong resistor for the up pipe. That was fixed today with the correct one.
Went to put it in gear while the car was on and NOTHING! It wouldn't go in any gear. With a bit of pressure on the gate, you can hear contact being made. Take the clutch off and try the gate again and there's no noise.
Clutch isn't disengaging properly.
No idea why. Everything was put together so carefully and torqued to the right specs, etc. Took the IC off again today and removed the book around the clutch fork and you can see the throwout bearing pulling out the pressure plate so that's all clicked in properly. We're properly stumped!
It'll be collected and towed to the mechanics tomorrow for hopefully a definite diagnosis!
My hands are torn apart, all joints are aching and I'm so tired!
