Message: <blockquote data-quote="the.greg" data-source="post: 1076181" data-attributes="member: 11226">12-16-12 Update:Well I have mostly fixed the clutch pedal vibration. It turns out that I had left too much slack when I adjusted my clutch, plus the aftermarket quadrant, firewall adjuster don't have any sort of dampening which leads to a lot of noise/vibration transfer. Regardless I adjusted my clutch cable a bit tighter and most, but not all of the shaking I was experiencing is gone. Then I was hit with more bad news, my car developed a massive coolant leak. Upon further inspection I found that I had a leak between the oil cooler adapter and the engine block. I ordered the gasket set from here-<a href="http://www.speedconcepts.net/product_info.php?products_id=967" target="_blank">http://www.speedconcepts.net/product_info.php?products_id=967</a>great deal, only $45.99. I followed this guide to replace, its fairly straight forward.<a href="http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/how-230/772115-how-repair-leaking-oil-cooler.html" target="_blank">http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/how-230/772115-how-repair-leaking-oil-cooler.html</a> I also replaced the oil cooler's internal seals at this time, they are included in the above kit. I took a few pictures while I did mine, but honestly the link I provided does a better job of explaining the process. Seals the kit comes with.<img src="http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo224/thegreg94celica/Mobile Uploads/IMG_1714.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo224/thegreg94celica/Mobile Uploads/IMG_1713.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After I got the oil cooler off and block adapter out I cleaned the block surface with sandpaper.<img src="http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo224/thegreg94celica/Mobile Uploads/IMG_1716.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo224/thegreg94celica/Mobile Uploads/IMG_1718.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />My oil cooler had lots of crap in it?<img src="http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo224/thegreg94celica/Mobile Uploads/IMG_1719.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo224/thegreg94celica/Mobile Uploads/IMG_1720.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Cleaned everything back up and installed new gaskets. Good as new now. For anyone with a 4v, fill the coolant up from the coolant crossover tube so you have no air bubbles in the coolant system and you won't have to burp it.</blockquote>
