Rob, the MUG bottles have a slippier coefficient of slipericity which provides superior fluid transfer cabapility. 9 out of 10 aborigini's agree!

I think the root beer bottles are made to handle more pressure, rootbear is a very fizzy soda.



I bet a seltzer bottle would have done the job faster

how about a pepsi bottle?



or a sprite bottle?



think they would give the same results?

I was lucky enough to have purchased said Mug Root Beer (20 oz.) from the Asian Cuisine in the Tallahassee Community College food court earlier that evening, and still had the emptied and crushed bottle in my backpack.



Plus Pepsi is just nasty.

They must have had the cheap brown soda version from Walmart.

a few years ago i was helping do a clutch job, we had the same problem, could only get within an inch, re-centered the clutch a few times





turned out the first time we were lining up the tranny, it caught the bottom of a heatshild near the shifter housing, and was actualy just getting caught there



so many hours wasted..

I think when the dude said something about fill thru the shifter was refering to ... the way I fill mine. I shoot a tube w/funnel attached from inside the car thru the shifter hole/access down to the fill hole .... more direct than from engine bay ... if cut to the proper length the funnel is suported by side of tranny n tunnel ... easier for me than pumpin n tryin not to tip over qt bottle n pull tube out ... just my 2 cents as long as it gets in there ...

your a ****** for using a root beer bottle, use a welch's grape soda bottle. in the future, stick the driveshaft in the back if the tranny and spin the drive shaft until the input shaft slips in. you are weak, i just bench the mother fucker up in there spin the driveshaft and "click" it slips in, its worked 5 times (many clutch changes) https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
