Laying out components and planning cuts

February 13, 2007 by Rob.

I thought it may be a good idea to figure out how the transmission+motor is going to fit together once. I put the FWD axles back in to help with placement and immediately found that I’m missing a support for the longer (right) axle.

I also took a careful look at the bell housing and found a couple of obstacles that I’ll have to take into consideration when I cut down the adapter plate. I’ve got to make these cuts before I can use the alignment tool for the close tolerance (<.005") work.
