Thanks guys.
Well I found out the clutch is different on a 88 so I bought a kit.
Well turned out the pilot bearing that came with it won't fit into a renix crankshaft FML.
Went through hell with a stupid parts counter guy trying to get the correct size..
I finally went behind the parts counter and found it myself lol! It's brass but who cares it will work.
Got the tranny in and T-case and what do you know.. I fabbed the cross member awhile back to bolt to the BA10 and now I gotta refab it again
My electric angle grinder took a hike while cutting it
Plus I gotta do something with the T-case linkage.. since it's designed differently.
I'll probably make something...
Man this is fun
I've had it tonight. I'm going home to have a beer.

Ok tranny is in. I had to fix the stupid oil leak twice lol
I gotta say I'm impressed.. Shifter feels more solid and accurate. Clutch pedal is a little more stiff but thats fine cause I know the 94 clutch spring is more stiff.
Ok I bought a high lift last sunday time to mount it.
I cut a couple head bolts in half and welded them to the rack.
Used the left overs of the head bolts to make a couple wing nuts. Then clamp the jack down with a couple C channels I found in the scrap pile.
It's got a nice snug fit.. Now I gotta figure out how to make sure it won't grow legs and walk away.
Maybe a cable lock like I got on the spare tire or.. Drill a hole through the head bolts and stick a couple pad locks though them so you can't unscrew the wing nuts?

85 bucks.
I got it from EVB. While I was there I also got a ARB tire deflater for 35 bucks. After last summer sitting on the trail spending 5 minutes on each tire letting air out with a key and a cheap tire gauge I decided that would save some time and hassle lol

Oil pan plate
Well while replacing my rear main other day figure I may as well weld a skid to the oil pan.
What ya think?
