Man is this site screwed up today, I didn't post that, what 3 times? No way took 5 minutes or more to post it one time, pages here take for ever to load again.

I can load any other web page on other tabs I have in use right now in mere seconds if that, this site? nope takes several minutes.

I can refresh the other sites several times over while this site sits there "updating page".

Working better again now, didn't take to long this time.

I usually end up just giving up and leaving the site for a while when it gets bad enough. Returning again after a few weeks or so to see how its working.

But ya it is awsome, mine is kind of noisy though like it is kinda of worn out, i think the guy that sold it to me, lied to me about how many miles were on it, but i dont know. Is yours noisy or anything?

ps after reading through your zf post and knowing ahead of time, i still put the automatic trans starter on it and had to figure out what that noisy was.lol
Nice I'm glad my stuff is still getting used in the archives. Mine is noisy when downshifting into second (makes a loud whine) but I know why. I got it at a junkyard and when I took it to the transmission shop to have it checked out, they split the case and to everyones suprise it was full of water!!! So they put in new brass and bearings and cleaned all the rust off the gears, but the rust had eaten dimples into some of the gears, with second being the worst. New gears would have been another $800, so I told him just put those ones in. Its the dimples on the gears that create the noise in mine.

Thanks again Dan, you were a huge help, and thanks to your diagrams, I got the switches "switched" over very smoothly. Huge rep to you! Now all I gotta do is wait till tomorrow for the body shop to open up so I can get the plastic holder clips to put it all back together.
