difference between FC and FD rebuild?
guys i am planning teardown an FD and just replace the softseals and springs due to a bad coolant seal... i have done 4 FC rebuilds (s5 TII's) and i'm wondering if there is anything in particular i need to watch out for when tackling an FD rebuild, as compared to an s5 TII rebuild.
thanks

All 13b's are all practically the same. You have more than enough experience to successfully tear down this engine. Just put all the old seals back in their original locations, however I would at least get the old 3 piece apex seals out of the engine since they break so easily in higher mileage situations due to the top piece getting shorter and more brittle.
You can also go to the 3rd gen section and download the 94 FSM if your still in doubt.

Jacob my offer still stands dude. I'll help you out if you want it. I'd hate for you to have to do anything you didn't want to do or that you'd regret later.

FC uses Push type clutch
FD uses pull type clutch..
the bearing is stuck to the PP on the pull type.. rather then the tranny shaft

Most people just pull the engine and trans as a mated unit.
There's a "clip" on the FD pull-type PP.
You need to pop the clip off / back, and this will disengage the PP from the input shaft.
It's a ROYAL PAIN if you don't know what you're doing, and I even heard of some folks removing all 6 PP bolts (keep rotating the engine / clutch manually) through the clutch inspect hole just to get the engine to detach from the trans.

Yep first time I did it was a bitch. Had to get on the forum for help because the shop manual doesn't explain the process to well. After I got it separated I re-installed that collar and just kept trying to remove to see how it really worked. Now separating it is easy.

It's all the same dude. As I said 4 days ago, you can download the 94 FSM from the 3rd gen section if you doubt us.

The Torrington bearings are bigger for the 13B-REW, and the front stat gear is slightly different due to this.
If you never knew about this, I doubt you would notice.
Disassembly and assembly is all the same - you just can't swap the parts around between 13B-REW versus 13BT unless you change the front stat gear and thrust bearings.
Basically, it's all the same.

Cause if that will work, I'll be buying some kits like mad.

If we're talking about the "gasket kit", the engine -> turbo exhaust manifold gasket(s) are different, but a 1987 - 1991 FC turbo gasket for that particular application is the cheap option - the FD uses two separate metal gaskets which are more expensive!
