So the clutch and drivetrain is back in! clutch seems to be working properly. also after all the wiring re-routing and cleaning up of the harness, i was a little skeptical that something stupid would happen when i tried to start it up aggain. i hooked up the battery last night and it fired right up on the first crank! everyhting seems to be working great, im super stoked about that! now i have to clearance my floor a bit more for the rotated case. then i can get the drivetrain pushed up a bit more and build m new x-member
