Sorry for the delay in updates, I've been stupid busy. So, here is the flange on the Tcase adapter that's bolted to the trans...
Here is the Tcase that's gonna get used temporarily. See the problem yet?
How about now?
So, the adapter needs to be trimmed...
Here is the fitment after its trimmed...
Here is another shot...
At this point I pulled the trans pan as someone drilled a 1/4" drain hole in the bottom of the pan, but used a rubber grommet as a plug. While the pan is off, I'm changing the filter. 149k miles and the trans was never serviced. It still had the factory fill neck stopper in the pan. This is both good and bad, good in that I know how many times the trans was serviced and know how hard the trans' life was. Bad in that it was never changed. The fluid was a little dark, but no burnt smell at all, giving me the info that it was not ran hard. It's gonna cost a little more now, but draining all the fluid out of the trans and torque convertor will assure a longer lasting tranny with good clean fluid. All cooling lines will be flushed prior to final install. Getting the filter tomorrow, gotta talk it over with josh about installing a trans external filter for better, easier maintenance...
