wow that sounds like quite a chore =( I like the idea of the insane first gear and overdrive gears all in a nice little package, but wow... Where do you think i could get a driveshaft that would fit? I have heard I could get the driveshaft shortened (for a price) but maybe a new one would be easier. Sorry to sound so ignorant but I don't fully understand the what a TV cable is and why it would need to be hooked up to the throttle. (is that the downshift linkage- in laman terms?) And about the lockup switch- I can bring the switch into the "cockpit" instead of hooking it to the brake wiring and such can't I? thanks again, Brad... aka Novice (when it comes to tranny swaps)
