Alan, Glad to hear they took care of the driveshaft issue. I remembered reading in the instuctions that vette driveshafts were pretty much a standard length, and all others had to be measured then ordered.
Michele dealt with Jeff too. (since she bought it ;-D) He's a good guy to deal with.

Hi Jerry, the trans is one of my best investments. Mileage is a big plus, more so now. After pulling the trans out about 6 times, I modified the crossmember so you can pull your trans in 1-1.5 hours. Also, if your thinking of the hydraulic clutch now is the time. I did mine last year and had to pull it twice. Very smooth and easy to work. Dick

Dick,
Thanx for the feddback.
You wouldn't happen to have a step-by-step procedure for this one gathering dust in a corner somewhere, would ya?
Pictures would not be sooooo bad either.

If anybody has an 82, or has previously installed a 700R4 Trans then the Driveline is allready the right lenght. Richard..
