Soooo, upon closer inspection it seems like my car doesn't have a transmission ground strap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Where is the best place to put one? Should it be a braided cable, or will a large gauge battery wire work? And finally, does anybody have a pic handy? Just to see where the best place for it is.
Thanks, |

the factory spot... you can get the factory straps at pelican, and put it in the factory place...
or get a heavy gauge wire and make your own, using the factory spot... |

Just above the tranny on the shift linkage side...should be a ~1" stud welded to the bottom of the trunk...the other end of the cable attaches under one of the end - cover bolts for the tranny.
