I don`t get a booming or thumping noise as the site mentions. more of a rough sound like u-joint rumbling, or ?.................

When we are in Oregon, their roads are rough from all the studded tires and snow chains. so there is a rumble, roar noise in the cabin from the tires. this reminds me of the noise.

what ever it is, I`ll do some more tweeking of the cross mount with some spacers.

I got it all back together today, and went for a run for about 30 miles. seems to act the same with the different transmission. this trans is a little looser than to other one.

It`s been wet and misty rain all day off and on, so working under the car wasn`t too bad. but my carpet did get a little damp. had to put on some rain pants to stay somewhat dry.

I would have finished a lot sooner if that pilot bearing hadn`t come out, and I noticed it sooner, and I hadn`t bent the Slave cyl line a little droping the trans. that slowed me a little. next time the slave is being removed first and out of the way first.

Those little spring steel clips that hold the shift rods are a real pain to get on. must be a trick to getting them to slide on easier.

So the car is up and running for now, and next week it`s making a trip to Carson City, NV. running smooth or grinding, growling and vibrating..
