I initially had it ran down inside the frame which made the most sense after I got it snaked thru the brake lines and fuel line... but then it was hard up against the trans, pointing back and the stupid loop made no sense. So I just flicked it over the frame and bam, it fit.Oh the V6 models it's really important how it straddles the frame. Ask me how I know.
I better have at least 20 years before grandchildren come into play.
BTW I hit 100 pages of drivel
EDIT:
Not really worthy of a new post, clutch is hooked up and bled. Feels like I have a good pedal. Between my two clutch switches I found a good one, engine cranks with the pedal down. Guess it is a good thing I grabbed two switches... or maybe I didn't have to
Shunt is in the glove box just in case...
