Hey guys, I'm posting this link to the Reatta.net/AACA forum which is my main discussion for my '89 Reatta project. It's gonna be sweet to say the least

Re: 3800 Series II/ 6 speed manual conversion
That sounds cool. I would love to see my old Buick 3.8L with a 6 speed just to feel the difference and possibly get better gas mileage. Then again...the 4 speed is what they say....Butter Smooth. Even at 114K...

Re: 3800 Series II/ 6 speed manual conversion
I've been working all week but got a few hours to make my run to Flint...
 The '02 Regal GS engine, with 58k miles. Am going to degrease and powerwash it, but it really shouldn't need anything. I may or may not replace its sensors. The alternator and starter are in my possession, just not pictured.  Side view. I noticed the AC Delco filter...it may have had dealer oil changes and service, a good thing.  I pretty much just had the chains for the backhoe to use cuz I didn't have a chance to run home for the rest of my tie downs   Not the best pic...  Here, we have the 3900 flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate. I asked the yard to get me the flywheel-to-bellhousing measurement, and they threw in a this measurement too. I don't think I need it but it was nice of them    The three units apart  The flywheel. And folks, right there, is our magic number. 1 5/8'' from the flywheel face to the bellhousing. This is what I/we need to know to get a flywheel made up.   The clutch pedal, master cylinder, slave cylinder, and reservoir. My new transmission already has a slave cylinder.  G6 shafts on the left, Reatta on the right. The outboard ends are different between the two cars. I will investigate piecing them together tomorrow. I will probably have to consult a local axle specialist on this  (dramatic entrance music) The shifter  The business end  This photo does not need a caption  Hooked it up for the heck of it, and felt what it's like to put it through all those gears  Cables attached to the transmission I'll be back probably tomorrow and will report back with some more useful info
