['63GENIII]

I bought the transmission back in October from a guy off of C.L. I believe it to be out of a '94 c3500. Its came with a stock bellhousing, clutch and complete hydraulic clutch pedal, master and slave set up. The guy I bought it from said he had a shop look at it and it was given a clean bill of health before he installed it in his Blazer. He said it ran perfect no grinds - no popouts.
As soon as the last Christmas guest left, I began pulling out the old TH400 with the intent of a three day turnaround. I didn't take pics at the time BC I was in a huge hurry. Working on youre back on fairly steep driveway in between rain storms has a way of doing that to you. So Dec. 30th I finished bleeding the clutch for the 4th time and I took her for a ride. First thing I noticed was the incredibly short, positive throw of the 4500. The second thing was that my 2-3 shift was grinding EVERY time. I did say that he told me it was perfect right? I checked the clutch release point a few more times, made absolutely sure that I had the correct transmission fluid (because I had been warned not to use the wrong one) and then it dawned on me... When I bought it, I did at least open the inspection cover just to take a look and distinctly remember the strong gear oil smell that came out of it. When I put the synthetic stuff in, no such smell. I'm guessing that the P.O. put regular gear oil in and hosed the syncros. From what I hear, it doesn't take long. I figure that I'm pulling it out to do the syncs anyway so I figure I'll take pics in hopes of helping some of the members here that are doing their swaps.
I'll start with what it looks like installed and go backwards. Hereit is in 1st and 2nd gears. There's about 3" to the AC unit and a little over 1" to the front of the seat.
Enjoy the pics.. Chris
