Got the transmission and associated parts this weekend. Trans looks nice and is quite clean,,, guess it should be with only 2k miles. Clutch assembly has a bunch of surface rust but I think it'll be OK. Got the shifter and required pigtails although one of the electrical connects (sensor?) on the trans is broken.


Spent more time this weekend looking at the engine compartment. The items coming out of the firewall present some problems with getting the motor back far enough and then being able to service things. In looking at the evaporator it would seem rerouting the AC and heater lines behind the fire wall might solve a few issues. One,, gets them out of the way of the motor and two if the AC lines moved to the drivers side and the heater lines moved to the passenger side they'd be closer to where they hook up. Don't know how difficult it would be getting the evaporator out,,, but I suspect a PITA. Changing the lines looks easy enough though.


I'm not sure yet about the clutch master. The Tilton master seems to be the smallest (75 or 76 series) and a remote reservoir might help a bit but it's still 3"+ off the firewall. I need it smaller or recessed some.
