Re: HG's Dream Car Build - Shelby Cobra Kit

It went in relatively easy. The biggest problem was the mess I made dumping all the ATF out of the tail housing when I tilted it. I don't have the right yoke for the transmission output and the rubber glove I snapped around the end filled and overflowed quickly.

Pro tip, add transmission fluid after it's in. I thought doing it before was better because of access to fill it in the transmission tunnel. And maybe if I had the yoke installed it would have been fine.

Other problems, bellhousing bolts only worked for 3 of the 5 holes due to the shape of the bellhousing. I'll have to get a couple cap screws for the other holes. Next step is getting the transmission crossmember and mount put in. I might have to make a bracket to offset the mount.
