Default torque tube, clutch, etc - complete!

Sharing my work if I can be of any assistance to anyone. I had never seen this done and decided to tackle this project at a friend’s shop on the ground. I have very limited mechanical background and had never done anything like this.

mcleod rxt w/ aluminum flywheel
tick master cylinder
trans and diff brace
mgw shifter
anti-venom trans mod - used 2 washers
diff seals/gaskets
all new fluids
torque tube rebuild - new bearings, o-rings, carbon fiber driveshaft
rear main seal
oil pan gasket
tms motorsports heatshield
fuel filter

Anyone have the tick performance hose fail on their car? The dang hose broke loose from the quick disconnect and left the male in the disconnect. Clearly a manufacturing defect. Tick warranted the hose but good thing I was still inside the shop!! What a pain!

also, Just sharing I did in fact have to shim the slave with the bigger shim from tick. Running a mcleod rxt and aluminum flywheel. Weird i guess as it was not shimmed before (had rxt rebuilt). Measurement A was around 2.54 and B was 2.24. Diff of .3 so i shimmed.

The car moved forward and back after cranking right up. No grinding, no crazy noises, then POP and clutch went straight down. Smole went all over and I saw where the tick hose came off. Thought it was my fault maybe not clicking it in but no. Clearly a hose fail. See pic

Looks good! Not an easy job on jackstands but you seem like you have a grasp on it. Never had a tick hose fail, that's weird.
