6 minute(s) of a 115 minute read

I am done, the waiting game again. Saving for the FLT trans, Level 6. Will be ready to order the trans at the end of September.

Here is the finished product so far.

My next project in the works for a fellow member.

One of Erics, MWC rearends with drag bar.

I have struck black gold.

From Finishline Transmission

Level 6 trans.

Time to get the flexplate ordered.

Once trans is installed, get tune and go have some fun.

1/28/2011

All the parts have arrived and the trans install can start.

Upgraded the flexplate to billet aluminum.

Once trans install is done, get aligned front, rear and tuned.

I think this project is then completed and time to think of what to build next.

1/30/2011

The original trans and flexplate are out.

Ready to install the new flexplate and FLT trans, ran into some bolt issues when using an aluminum flexplate. New bolts are ordered.

Convertor installed in trans, test fit flexplate to convertor.

The final count down.

In the morning, fill and check all fluids, make appointment to get car sent to alignment shop and then off to the dyno for tune.

She starts,shifts, drives and no leaks.

Have an issue to figure out, tach,temp and fuel gauge sweep when the key is turned on and then do no function once car is running

Need to get to tune and alignment.

Checked the grounds, they were bolted down, so I did the wiggle test to various wires and was able to get the tach,temp and fuel gauge to work. Also, the scanner would not communicate. Here is the culprit wire.

It was plugged in, so I unplugged it and plugged it back together, pushing it firmly together. Gauges now work and the scanner communicates.

Washed and ready for the alignment shop and tune. I hope I have addressed all the little issues that popped and no other ones arise.

3/24/2011

Installed new steering wheel, quick release with a working horn button.

Saving for the alignment and tune, then we are ready to rock.

4/7/2011

She is coming home.

Returning from getting the alignment front and rear done.

Next will be the 2.5 hr. haul to get the tune done, then we will be ready to hit the strip.
