[QUOTE="cj428mach, post: 15498630, member: 142081"] I thought Id update this with what I found during my install. 1. The Dyad is only as thick as a single disk clutch is so the Magnum pivot ball took no modification. 2. I installed countersunk bolts in the front 2 bolt holes on the shifter base but the passenger side still contacted the floor. Ultimately I had to slightly massage the floorboard on the pass side with a prybar. 3. At first I installed a Stifflers crossmember but the amount of transmission noise was very high. I blamed the Stifflers crossmember so I found a used stock crossmember and slotted the holes. While installing the oem crossmember I saw evidence that the pass side shifter bolt head was rubbing the floor so I clearanced the floor a little bit and installed the oem crossmember and everything is dead quiet, so I'm not sure what was the culprit. I can say to the cobra purists that there is very minimal grinding of the stock crossmember so don't fear it as much as I did. 4. I shortened a spare stock driveshaft and you need to take approx 3/4" out of it depending upon the yoke. 5. The stock wiring harness fit with plenty of room. The harness holders that clip into the stock t56 and crossmember won't line up anymore but zipties can do the job just fine. 6. I went with the Sonnax yoke and it fit perfect. Overall the t56 Magnum is everything people make it out to be. Its amazing how nice it shifts. [/QUOTE]
