[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16189982, member: 138028"] The main body is in and the gear selector arm is bolted to the lever on the trans, amazingly tightening the bolt was way easier than removing it. I placed blue locktite on that bolt before install so it ain't coming off. [ATTACH=full]1570734[/ATTACH] Here's a pic of the car up on the Quickjacks, and my setup to support the trans while the crossmember is removed. The trans is lowered a bit but the jack is still holding it up slightly. The block of wood is on top of 2 pairs of QJ tall lifting blocks and 1 shorter block is between the tranny and jack. [ATTACH=full]1570735[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1570736[/ATTACH] Here's the BF bracket d/shaft loop mocked up with the MGW rear support bushing (not too keen on the colour clash). It's not tighten down yet and I might flip the bolt the other way and use the nylon locknuts from MGW. If not I'll get some lockwashers to keep it tight and not vibrate loose. [ATTACH=full]1570737[/ATTACH] I actually didn't spend too much time today to get to this point, I had other things to do so I only started to work on the car around 3pm and was done in less than an hour. I got the main body in without the support pins installed that made it easy (MGW video shows them dropping the body in with the pins in place, there were install tips in my package and they mentioned putting the pins in after the shifter was in there). I placed a shop rag over the d/shaft in that area so as to not cause damage or install scrapes on the shifter body, if you are careful you don't contact the shifter body with any part of the car there when installing. I then spent some time checking and testing the front support pins with the support arms and mocking up the rear bushing as shown in the pic earlier. Everything looked good so I'm pretty confident the rest of the install will be cake. Tomorrow morning I have a local Vette gettogether to attend then it's home and continuing the install, I'll also have the Z06 out of the garage to give me more space (it rained today so didn't move the car out). I should be able to get all the underneath stuff done tomorrow and can finish it up inside the car on Sunday. Tony [/QUOTE]
