All thats left is make 4 holes so i can bolt up the new crossmember location then hook up the exhaust. Oil is in the tranny, I was able to live the Long tubes in there which was a big relief!!! Just got a question to answered.....

1. What kind of shifter handle do i need??? The shifter to were i can bolt up the handle has to holes to were i can bolt in. I know my brother's stock handle(LS1) is to high and straight which hits on the radio....Does the 03 cobra handle work???

I heard someone (on another forum) say that they used the brake light circuit to activate the solenoid. It was on a car that NEVER cam with even a T5, so there was some "engineering" going on. Let us know if that works.

I was told the connector for reverse lock out was a GM coolant temp sensor connector but I picked one up and it wasn't right.

I don't use a switch for the lock out and most don't, you just have to use enough force to overcome the spring and plunger. I kind of like it has a nice postive feel going in reverse and you know when you are going in reverse.
