also installed autometer temp gauge, have not installed the t-brake button yet

i bought a billet 4l80 slip yoke from strange, and swapped it to the end of my m6 denny's driveshaft. didnt have to change length etc.

i tied the park/neutral switch to the clutch switch wires, and tied the reverse light switch to the reverse light wires from the m6 harness, also tied in the output speed signal wire to get the speedometer back.

had to set the rear gear and tire size to really weird numbers like 6.0 gear and 19" tire but it is on the money now.

most all of my trans related pictures of the build are here:

Where did you get the speedo settings? Mine stays 2-5mph no matter what I do. Ive heard about using #'s like that but couldnt get any other info on it.

And I hope nothing hits your trans cooler, Ive never seen one mounted like that. Nice swap pics!

Thanks,
Vann

that was the only room i had, necessity is the mother of invention

i got lots of other stuff lower than that heh.

i just changed the numbers in the direction the speedo was wrong until it wasn't wrong anymore

Oh, Mines attached to the AC condensor in the front of the car. But I guess that would work.

Cool, Ill give that a shot.

i have an intercooler radiator and turbo pipes up there. it seems to be running cool so far down there, i have some aluminum to make an air dam for it if necessary

what did you have to do to fit the shifter? did you shorten it, to fix the six speed knob?

MIGHTYMOUSE · 06-06-2007, 10:38 PM

i cut the handle off to fit a cut 6 speed handle shaft

the b&m is aluminum and the 6 speed handle is steel, so there was some funny business involved to mary the two.

All of your links go to cars.com lol

MIGHTYMOUSE · 02-03-2010, 04:52 PM

you are right, and i don't know why... researching...

MIGHTYMOUSE · 02-03-2010, 06:44 PM

try em now.

. also due to not having a fan on it, my trans temps were hot with that cooler under the car. RICE ETR on here has one under the car on the other side with a fan on it and it does ok.

but i let my intercooler radiador take over as my trans cooler, it has worked extremely well!

you can kinda see it here in front of the radiator on the passenger side

also i eventually replaced the steel line with the lightweight black hose, and i made this fitting for the trans
