My renewed tranny will arrive next week thanks to Dr. Evil. There are several things to deal with that I'm not sure of the correct order, especially that shift rod.
Would like some input as the steps to follow to reinstall

Check out the clutch replacement article at Pelican Parts. Same procedure minus the clutch unless you need to change it or check it.

The shift rod that goes through the firewall is installed first then the tranny then the rod that connects to the side shift console on the tranny.

1. Remove shift rod between firewall and shift console.
2. Remove clutch cable, speedometer cable and back up light wires
3. Remove ground strap from tranny.
4. Disconnect CV joints, cover in baggies.
5. Remove Muffler or whole exhaust
6. Remove starter
7. Remove tranny.

To install reverse the above. This is from memory. The Pelican guide is probably better and has pictures!!

Do you have new Schnoor washers for the cv joints an two new cone screws for the shift linkage?
And cv joint gaskets.

Feed the shifter rod into the console, then connect it at the firewall and tighten the cone screw, then connect the linkage at the console.

I should point out that if you make the firewall connection prior to feeding the shift rod into the console, you will have to disconnect it from the firewall end to correct this oversight. But don't ask how I know...

jim, just before you install the engine, lay the rod in place, thru the front bar and in the rear console. easy hook up and you won't have to struggle with fight the bar in from the front to the rear.

I believe this is only a tranny install. Engine was left in the cat.
Right Jim?

Have new Schnoors and CV gaskets, I have two of the J-West cone screws that were used once about a week earlier. They look good

Jim, i just did this, and made the mistake of not double checkin my cone screws, the one at the firewall connection came loose because i didnt go back and tighten it up! so while backing out of garage, i went to shift and it came apart- not a big deal, glad in happened in the garage!, -BTW did you get your new MC in and bled out yet? - finally got my supply lines seated, no leaks, but cant seem to get the lines fully clear, so the pedal is a bit soft yet- just wondering if you were to that point yet?
also - you will like your newly refreshed trans for sure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Installation is the reverse of removal.

A big thanks to Dr. Evil ! Received the tranny yesterday from Dr Evil and unloaded it for installation this Sunday. Also got the main part that was defective.
