well, my dad and i got the transmisson out today, it wasnt that bad, but it was time consuming. i had to use some of the parts of the old tranny, and that took a little longer than i was anticapating. but hey, what can you do, when we started getting the new tranny in, i slid the converter on, but couldnt decided if it was on right, i figuered it had to be, but just didnt seem right (i will explain a little better a little furter on...)
but then as we were lining up the tranny, we were pushing the tranny up, and it fell off the tranny jack... ah **** i thought... i dont know if any damage was caused, i sure as hell hope not, it took a dive from about a foot up? damage likely?
so we ran out of day light so i figure i would have to give up for the day.... i will try and resume tomorrow.
about the converter... i think i had it all the way on, but wasnt sure, i couldnt get my fingers in anywhere around the converter, and if it could go in further, it couldnt go far, because it looked like it was pretty close to the bell housing. the only reason why i question it being not all the way in is because i could still wiggle it around in there, so thats the only reason why i dont think it was all they way in... but it could have been....
anyways... thanks for the help... hopfully it wont be so bad getting the thing in... i hope that thing works.. its the first tranny i built... took me like a dozen times to get it together correctly and have no extra pieces... but i finally got it back together.
thanks again..
-Neil
