4-5 more tries and it'll be right. More new parts thrown at it but te price will stay the same.

Can't argue with results! Hahaha

She has a big belly on her now! I used the original spots on the frame for the crossmember it lined up really close. Everything works good just drove it in the parking lot since the gallon or gallon and a half of oil mike had was not enough to fill it. Shifts just like a normal transmission real smooth and easy. The only thing I am not happy with is the mount I made to hold the clutch slave it works fine tho just sucks. Other than that she is sweet!

I see some snazzy "stock" exhaust still fitting past that unit though. each has its clearance strengths!

I won't be doing any rock crawling in 2wd anyways so it will be fine. Just got the oil from emerson and 5 gallons was the minimum I could order. Comes in at a sweet $166!!

Just drove this around for the last 30min or so and it shifts and drives so nice that the average person would probably not even realize anything is different from the normal stick. I also want to give a +1 to fleetpride for fit and balancing with the shaft.
