What did you do to your Spyder today?

[pwhoever]

Getting ready to put a new shiftb shaft in mine. The splines are all messed up so the shift lever wont stay tight.

That sounds like it's going to be a really involved project.

Any project is involved for me anymore. I just can't get down and crawl around on the cement any more like I used to. There is only one cover to remove,then take the main shaft nut off and slide the clutch out of the way pull the old shaft out put the new in and button it up. Two hour job that shoud only take me about 4 or5 hours.

Good luck on your project. Better than taking it to a dealership. The downside is getting up off the floor gracefully. It can be ugly. Lol

It can only be considered ugly if there is someone there to see it. If you're by yourself, you can say you were as graceful as a ballerina, LOL!

Ramp stands I made to work on the Spyders.

How did you make those. That is just what I need. Love those.

I sacrificed my old harbor freight trailer for the main frame. The top was some scrap plywood and 4x4 screwed down. The ramps obviously were not made by me. I used 3/4" black iron pipe for the ramps to hang off. If you are interested I will take better pictures and provide measurements. I will say I should have made it a little shorter as I only needed to provide 2 ft clearance from the bottom of the frame and I actually made them 2 ft tall.
