The trans was one of the things I had left to paint.

I also changed out the lockup pressure switch on the valve body. It is now wired to lock in 4th gear or I will be able to select lockup in 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

I had a chrome pan for it, but it turned out to be a piece of Chinese junk! The bolt holes were off just enough to prevent it from going on. I could have slotted them, but I didn't want to take a chance with leaks. I cleaned the old pan up and painted it silver. I also welded in a bung for a temp sensor. I don't know if I'm going to use it, but it'll make a good drain plug if nothing else.

I installed the dip stick too. It's a Lokar unit, but I had to fab a new mount. The original mount was going angle it up toward the headers. The new mount puts it vertical near the firewall.

I hope to get the shifter on next week.
