Had a couple 14 hour days at work , so today was the first time I spent on the truck since the weekend. I put the torque convertor on , kind of tacked the tranny on , just a couple bolts holding it on , and I tacked the tranny crossmember on to see how I will make it fit.Looks like I will have to drill a couple new holes , and maybe tack an extension onto it to make it a little longer , other than that , I can make the holes line up , I was pretty close how I tacked it on there with a c clamp <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

One thing that came to my attention when I was playing with the tranny , does fluid go around the starter area?With the new starter I have , its not the round shape like stock , so doesn't sit flush with the bellhousing curve.Its been a while since I had a tranny apart like this and I forget if the fluid goes there or not.I am thinking no , unless the front seal is bad and leaks , but not 100% sure on that.

Anyway , by the end of the weekend , I hope to have the tranny all on , and the rest of the engine finished.Then I guess I can start working on the transfer case and swap the teras into this one.Also , my fuel cell cage is done <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> , so I can start playing with that too and run my lines and mount the cell.Its getting closer every day though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
