So I ended up pulling out the transmission and throwout bearing out… and I had a local hydraulic tubing vendor cut off the GM quick disconnect fitting (the black plastic piece) and silver solder on a 4 AN fitting. Now I can just use standard AN fittings.

I see you got the new transmission jack... that makes the job a lot easier.

Cool, thanks for that update Dale. Hopefully will be tackling all that next week. Yep, the jack is gonna make things so much easier. I like how you can easily adjust/set the angle.
