Mike,

just dropping by to say hello.

Everything looks good! especially the tranny cover w/ cup holders. so they clear all 6 gears and reverse? I went different route but that deffinately looks clean!

Agreed nicely done. That trans must have the tightest pattern ever to have full swing with only that much width. Toyota transmissions have the 5 gear way out in right field, I tried to get it all inside the hole, even if I had cut/angled the shifter it still wouldn't work. I used a C's short throw shifter which brought the pattern in considerabley but 5th is still a mile away from third..

 

Hi peter. Only when getting into reverse does the shifter rod barely touch the bottom of the cup holders. Not enough to bother me. All 1-6 gears clear with about 3/4" on left and right side.

Hope you're car is coming along

thank you!

Yes the T-56 has a very close 1st through 6th and not wide spread out like the toyota or a honda.

 

here is 6th gear to give you an idea....

 

So does it get in to reverse?

 

i don't use reverse. I just roll the car back with my feet. 5 point turns and parallel parking gives my feet a work out

 

Like a BOSS

 

 

Did you ever measure your pan to see if this one would clear the cross member? Visually the lower sump division is between two bolt holes in the pan, which looks very close to the ones I've seen modified on here. I can weld steel, I just don't have the resources to weld thick aluminum like that easily.

 

haven't even pulled her out of the garage. been super busy.

I will try this week

 

I understand, I worked every day this week and did nothing on the project car.

 

totally forgot to measure. i will have it on the lift next week and i wrote myself a note.

 

New wheels are on and the car looks much better. These wheels flow better and i like the fitment and fat tires.

Car looks great Mike...

 

Thanks!

i feel like the front should be just a tad lower, I'll wait until everything settles then adjust.
