Second Question: What are you exactly trying to say?

The question your asking makes no sense??

First Question: That is weird that your car shakes like that. I would start by checking the U joints and then possibly have the trans fluid driained and some new fluid added. You could find a nice aftermarket shifter for your car fairly cheap. How many miles on the factory clutch?

This is my friends post. He just bought a LT1 T56 for his old school 350. He wants to know what the four electrical plugs on the trans are for. He is not useing a computer so he wants to know which plugs have to be plugged or wired so he could run that trani. I told him they are for skip shift, and the reverse lights but I dont know about the otheres.

Default trans

You should only need to hook up the speedo, and on the passenger side get the plug for the reverse lights. All other plugs are not used

Well you don't need to power the reverse inhibitor but it will take 2 hands to get the reverse gate without momentary power to it.
The 4 connections are the above solenoid. skipshift solenoid ,B-U lamps and speed.
