So what's the story VS?
I'm really paying attention to this thread now, as I may need to do the swap. Tranny maybe dead...

okay tranny finally cleared and it's in.
clutch bites well
checking for crank play
hydraulic lines going in this week to next
i guess we are looking at middle of october for tranny swap to be done
3rd week of october for the exhaust
end of october for body kit

hopefully sooner... but we'll see...... This started in December 28 of 2004....... it's now been 9 months of waiting for it to come together..... I guess it will be full 10 months before I get to drive her....

What? Make sure your shop can do this properly. A hand grinder isn't going to cut it. Find a specialized MACHINE shop.
