Darksider's Realm

(this is not a place for lazy video game freaks. We Darksiders have been around doing our thing for decades before the mindless couch blobs latched onto the term Darksider)



DARKSIDER In the world of automotive hobbyists a Darksider is one who modifies and or customizes any and all sorts of vehicles. The Darksiders are in a class of their own simply because they endeavor to be different and do things that others would not attempt for a number of reasons mostly being related to a lack of ability and fear of non conformity.

This is a forum for people who think outside the box in everything they do. It doesn’t matter if you are modifying or building from scratch. It doesn’t matter what brand or brands of vehicles or components you are using. It doesn’t matter if you are working on a mini car or a bus.

We will not be asking you for donations or any kind of monetary payments. We will be asking for help in terms moderators and encouraging you to spread the word and add to our membership.

    While I assume that you may have already uncovered this trick, I'll share anyway.
    If you are installing a transmission that has a seperate bellhousing (such as the Borg-Warner T-5); install the bellhousing onto the engine block first. Then use a 2X4 to fully depress the clutch peddal. Now the clutch disk is fuly floating and free to rotate and move as you install the transmission into the vehicle. This allows more freedom of movement as you install a transmission into a tight chassis (much more than trying to align the input shaft with a fixed clutch disk). Once in place install fasteners as normal.
    I've had good luck with this technique and i hope it helps.
