If they need adjusting it is very hard to do with the transmission installed. If you decide to not get it let me know. I've been looking for one. LOL
Ditto to that, grab all you can. I had the trans shop install the whole unit and and set the TV cable too, I've heard too much about guys setting them themselves and burning it.

Get the torque converter also, but just so you can take a look at it: if you're getting it rebuilt don't try to save money by reusing a nasty one with old fluid in it, just get a new one.

I got lucky, my driveshaft still fit, but budget for a new one since there are different lengths. Don't worry its money well spent.

It seems like a lot of expense and trouble but it was the best upgrade for the dollar I ever did.
