Cleaned up the shop, it was a total mess. Got the truck up on jack stands and worked on the shifter. Got the shifter cable installed with the right brackets on the tranny and got it adjusted as per the manual.
Bolted up the converter, but not sure if I was supposed to use spacers between the flex plate and the converter as it was shipped with some washers. I cannot imagine that I should have installed those, but you never know.
I will email Chris at Circle D and find out if I need them in there or not.
Buttoned up the wiring and pretty much everything else. I ran out of **** to do on it other than putting fluids in it and firing it up.
Put it back on the ground, put the shifter in park and the truck still rolls. Messed around with the shifter a little bit and you can just barely hear a click click click when it is pushed in park.
I know that it is all mechanical in there but have to wonder if I should fire it up and see what happens or just pull the tranny now?
Anyone have any experience with this?
If this tranny needs to come out, it may just be the thing that stops my progress on this thing... I don't know if I have the energy and time right now to go backwards that much.
