Still no pictures, but I finally received the shift shaft today. So I got it installed, and the new pan with a drain plug put on. I also got the new 10” PTC convertor installed. Got the trans off the engine stand and back on the trans jack.

But before I could put the Falcoon back on the lift I needed to do my 6k mile service on my daily driver. So I changed the oil & filter, rotated & balanced the tires, and checked the related filters. Once that was done I got the Falcoon back up on the lift. That’s when I realized that it’s gonna take more than one person to get it stabbed back in. I’m afraid that I’m going to have to do some trans tunnel work to make this biga$$ trans fit.

So I shut down the shop, took a much needed shower, and now I’m watching motor trend. I’ll get back on it tomorrow.
