Operation: Zebra build
Also I'm debating between rebuilding my transmission or swapping in a C6. Any suggestions?

Hope you guys like it.
This one is from Rock Auto and it only cost me $33 shipped to my door. This pan has the drain plug built in.http://www.flickr.com/photos/62639173@N03/6127974067/http://www.flickr.com/photos/62639173@N03/6127974067/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/62639173@N03/, on Flickr
PS it came with that magnet, so I figured Id add it for your veiwing pleasure.
Im currently working on a Floor shifter install for the E4OD, pics and tips coming soon, hopefully. I have it all installed, just have to actually hook teh cable to the trans.

My problem is that my transmission works...mostly it does have hard shifting issue so I didnt wanna tear into and do something that would cause it to not work for the time being. Also, I don't know how to weld. I plan on taking classes but spare time is rare. So making a custom mount wasnt really an option either.
i have the mount together and I took pics of the process but it was made completly bolt on. I just coated it with bedliner so it'll match the rest of the interior for now. Pics to come tonight! (hopefully) as my work computer won't let me go to any of the picture hosting sites. (lame)

Here is what I decided to use to make the mount for my shifter. it an ammo can for 5.56 rounds if anyone's wondering.

Here is my mount after measuring and trimming it down to the appropriate size.

Here is the whole assembly put together so I could make sure it all lined up as planned.

It was a pain to get the cable connected as I already had the cable fed through the floor.

And finally here is the end result! I like it but I may add a longer handle/ different shifter to make it feel more comfortable.

Here soon, I will show how to hook the cable to the transmission.
I figured if I was gonna have to drop the trans pan to pull the valve body may as well upgrade the pan. Heck for $33 its a deal just to get one and keep it on a shelf till time to change trans oil.

Got all that for right at $200! Good deal I feel.
Here's a before picture of what i had to begin with. I didn't know it but the caliper is seized, thus causing the warping and grooves on the rotor. Also glad I chose to get the hub assembly as the previous owner must have beat the passenger hub with a sledge for fun. I was barely able to get the lockout assembly out.
