If you’re going to re wrap, polishing wouldn’t even be necessary. Probably wouldn’t need to sand any finer than 600 grit

So you put in a new tranny? Or put more tranny fluid? Asking because my z has weird issue where it grinds in second and 3rd sometimes 4th (just bought it recently) and been told it could be the shifter but I think it’s the tranny but it’s fine if I shift slow. If it’s the tranny I have a shop that does vqs but just wanna have different perspectives

A few things that I would like to say that he left out that gave me some trouble You need to take off the alternator belt. You do this by loosening a bolt on the upper-passenger side-rear part of the alternator (12mm) I washed the lifters in gasoline. This worked in literal seconds and there isn’t a need to wash before puttting them back so there’s not a risk of water getting in
