Wow...you are progressing quickly! 8) I commend you for tackling a project such as a 5speed swap...its alot of work. I hope everything goes well and really hope you enjoy the hard work you put into the swap. You'll be proud of yourself and those cuts, snags, bruises, or any other type of inflicted damage the car puts your through will be well worth it once you put it in gear and let go of the clutch!8)

everything is looking good, keep up the great work. just an FYI for the future, its 10 times easier just to unbolt the torque convertor with the trans in the car, there is a little cover plate on the bottom of the bell housing, held in wiht 2 bolts, you take that off, and you use a 1/2 drive ratchet to spin the motor over by hand so you can get at the 4 bolts that hold the convertor to the flex plate.

well as the crank was exposed the pulling of the pilot bearing was too much for me to bere, i ended up resurfacing a stock flywheel which let me cut some corners of bolting the fly wheel, clutch and pressure plate as you can see my spot where the pilot bearing is all jacked up


after that it was pretty much smooth sailing from there, the tranny bolts right up like its suppose to be there. then i just started putting everthing such as battery tray and everything else back in place, placing all ground and what not in the right place

from there i dropped the tranny fliud in and followed the splicing like it said in Goosey2099 tutorial and everthing was go my reverse lights worked and all
with a few works here and there
id like to thank everyone for helping me out, big thanks forreal
and thanks to bronxbombr and Goosey2099 for answering all the little problems here and there i ran into when it came to the clutch juss a few adjusting and everything was ok
total cost for this swap including brand new parts and money for gas so one of my best friends came over everyday to help
