[QUOTE="DSG2003Mach1, post: 16852290, member: 16477"] depending on the clutch/flywheel combo an adjustable height pivot ball is needed - you will likely have to pull the trans a few times to get the depth set correctly, make sure to account for needed travel as the clutch disc(s) wear The Stiflers trans mount with drive shaft loop worked perfect for me. I would highly suggest using RTV on the shifter, not a gasket. If they compress/tear/degrade you may have to pull the trans to re-seal it as you can't get to all the bolts. I can't remember if it's my Steeda K-member or Moroso oil pan but one of them prevents getting enough meaningful tilt to access anything. There is a seal in the bottom of the red Tremec shifter - if it's out I would check/replace this seal, again, real bitch to replace with trans in car. Now this is speculative but there is anecdotal evidence that something in the Amsoil ATF accelerates wear on this seal. If buying a used Magnum there were some early ones that had issues building up pressure and blowing out the tailshaft seal - the options to repair are a new design tailshaft seal that has some metal reinforcement in there, if it still blows that out a new tail assembly is needed or have a machine shop add a vent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hopefully you're ok with me tagging in some [B]items for non-terminator owners[/B] making the swap: The pig tails wont match if you come from a 3650 or other older transmission. You can buy the appropriate plugs at any auto parts store, just de-pin the connectors and swap onto the existing harness. There is NO provision for the reverse lock out in the pcm, you can either live with it, run a wire to the brake light switch (just remember if you're lightly on the brakes in say 6th and go for 5th someone could conceivably **** around and end up in R instead), cut the spring, or use one of the reverse lockout boxes which make it behave like factory.
