My brother has his '69 Volvo 145 wagon for sale. That means his '72 Westy will become his daily driver. The transmission has always been really noisy (bearings) so he picked up another one a few months ago. Hopefully it's quieter. All racked up.
Yank the engine. Replaced the rear motor mounts.
Old one out and on the floor.
Replacement installed after replacing all the shifter bushings.
Dropped the surprisingly heavy exhaust to replace the copper O-rings where they meet the heads. Hopefully no more leaks.
I'm waiting for him to bring me a new clutch. Throwout bearing was SUPER loud and the disc had 2 cracks between the cushion springs. Never seen that on a VW before. I guess I'll start cleaning the shop up in anticipation of the new arrivals tomorrow. More to come.
