Yeah, the weather is pretty nice. I moved here after I graduated college. I am originally from PA near Gettysburg. Northport is a nice area.
Anyone want to chime in on the stop bolts issue for us?

If I'm understanding your question correctly you're talking about the postive stop bolts the prevent from throwing the shifter too far and bending the shift forks in the tranny?
If that is what you are talking about, those stop bolts are built into the shifter base and are not part of the transmission housing at all. You will use a feeler gap guage to set them and there should be some instructions on how to do it correctly w/ the shifter. That's the way it is on Tri-Ax shifter and every other shifter I've seen for these cars.
You can see what I'm talkin' about on this picture where those two screw bolts are on the front and back of the sort oval part below the shifter handle.
Hope that answers your question.

Thanks. I was asking because I thoughtI read somewhere that the tremec 3650 has internal stops and you don't use the stops on shifters.

Now that you mention it I remember seeing that too but I think it's more of a fail-safe than anything else 'cause the stock shifter does not have it's own stops like all the aftermarket ones do. Set the stops on your new shifter and you can't go wrong!
Enjoy! :beer:

The 3650 does have internal stops, so the stop bolts are not necessary. MGW designed the shifter with stop bolts because the t45 does not have internal stops and needs them. You can still set the stop bolts for added protection, but be 100% positive that where you set them still allows for the shifter to FULLY engage all the gears. The shifter will come with instructions on how to do this, so don't worry.
