Well this has been one heck of a project so far. I've done engine transplants that went smoother than this. It just seems like one hiccup after another. I've finally gotten the tranny in. Unfortunately the new crossmember I got doesn't work right. The cross tube is too far back to pick up the tranny taps. I don't know if the guy who gave it to me moved it or what. All I know is that I have to have it moved forward about an inch. PITA.
I did however get a measurement and will be able to order the new aluminum driveshaft tomorrow. 50.5" in case anybody was wondering.
I toasted my Rotozip making the hole opening larger in the tunnel. That sucker was spewing smoke real bad when I gave up on it. I was about 90% done when that happened. So I finished it up with my tiny little dremel tool. The B&M Ripper is in but I'll need to find a good boot and floor mount to cover it all back up.
Now for a question. I recall reading somewhere that I may have to do some wire splicing of the lines from the old automatic tranny. I'm not exactly sure what that's all about. I know what plug it was that was attached. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do here? Is this just for the reverse lights to be activated... or is this some kind of neutral safety switch? Please help... thanks!!
