Wheel nuts were not torqued. Fortunately the wheel stayed attached for the few laps of the session. Required replacement of the FR bearing, studs and wheel. May be able to have the wheel repaired.
Track Log
Transmission Sensor
Had the sensor replaced while the box was out of the car. Before installing the transmission, checked the voltage output on the position sensor. Found this sensor provided reverse from expected. Low gears, higher V steps down as gear position increases.
Transmission checkup
Replaced some seals and the sensor. Looking good for another season 👍
Sensor was original with the box. Proactive replacement while box was out of the car.
Thermostat removal
To remove the thermostat from its housing, I used a spacer and m5 with a bit of gasket sealer around the housing dish.
