I also used those intructions... Great writeup...
I bought the whole swap kit from Tennessee Auto, which was a highly recommended company over on LT1tech. I wish I knew of somewhere else to send you cause those guys seriously f*cked my buddy over.
We were supposed to get a completely rebuilt trans with upgraded synchro's, steel shift fork, and a few other mods. We ordered our kits at the same time to save some on shipping. The transmissions arrived, then the bellhousings a few days later, about a week after that we finally got the Spec clutch's and flywheels.
Mine went in and worked fine without a single hitch. My buddy's worked fine for about 1/2 mile, then it locked into fourth and wouldnt go to any other gear or even neutral.
So we removed it, sent it back in, and recieved a phone call saying there was nothing wrong with it. They supposedly went through it anyway and sent it back, we installed it and found out it was still crap... My buddy found someone local to rebuild it, they showed us all the stock worn out parts that were never replaced, and the stock synchros and shift forks that we paid to upgrade. Im afraid to open mine up, cause if the parts I paid for arent in there, I'll fly to Tenessee and get thrown in jail for beatin the **** outta that guy!

not really cuz i have a 93, and that write up is for a 94-97, and its to convert your auto harness to adapt to the manual, im swapping the harnesses as well, so its cleaner. but the Clutch start switch and sensors on the pedal is whats confusing me, im looking for this yellow and brown wire for the CSS, but can find them anywhere, i guess i need to email that guy and see if he knows... thanks guys
