    I hope to do my V6 tranny swap this weekend, I'm still waiting for some smaller parts (hope to get them maybe tomorrow), and I will also take as many pictures as I can. I will try to be specific on some wiring changes, including clutch interlock switch, starter circuit, etc. BTW, I already know how to keep cruise control working...

    FWIW, I used a flexible extension like this one:


    to get to the bolts holding the shifter lines to the firewall.

    *UPDATED*

    And man am i getting tired of how slow this swap is going.
    As of now, in my most likely delusional head,
    I will be getting the flywheel resurfaced this week, clutch should arrive soon (damn snow slowing its arrival down), pedals installed, and master installed.
    Then on this saturday we do plan on dropping the automatic and depending on how things go, try and lift the 5 speed in.

    Just add as many as you can.. I want you to post so many pictures that Proto has to add another HDD to the TGC server.. I want to make sure I do this right when the time comes.. You will definitely be one to be thanked by me when I do this.. I'm good with the pedals, shifter and axle.. I need more pictures and info on the cylinders and the starter plate..

    Alright, yeah i keep forgetting to take pics so time to go a little trigger happy, maybe a stop motion swap?? haha.

    Yeah to be honest, Im a little confused on the whole starter plate thing, because from what i can see, the auto starter plate looks very similar to the manual one, i will do a better comparison once i pull everything out though.

    yea the starter plates are a lil different but even so i just used the one from the auto and grinded down the difference. The auto one is a bit smaller and a lil offset which causes it to sit so close to the flywheel that is grinds when its started up. Like i said though i grinded it and theres no problem now.

    Oh okay cool. Yeah I'll definitly document through photo the difference.

    Ok, what about tranny fluid? I read good reviews on club3g.org about the "grey mix", which is 2 qts of Redline MTL + 1qt BG Syncroshift, but what about everyone else experience? Any other suggestions?? I ask because I cant get any BG Syncroshift locally.

    Also, how do you guys hold the engine while the tranny is off the car? I will take out the auto tranny later today and I dont want to dent the oil pan with a jack/stand.

    Starter is in a half inch off between the two plates. I paid $11 for my manual plate, very good investment. Beats cutting the automatic plate.
