Im going over to make another attempt at installing my trans on my blazer today.Hopefully all will go well with it.

 

Things actualy cooperated for me todayI go the trans u and half way bolted in.

 

good news, now things will start moving! Maybe you`ll get lucky like me. I put in a fuel pump amd somehow the speedo and odometer now work! go figure.
When you bolt on the transfer case, and new gasket for it, make sure its good and tight. Mine leaked a bit and it was a bitch getting a wrench in there to tighten it up once everything else was in

 

thats great to hear....glad you got the tranny to cooperate with you.
well on your way now!!

 

Well today after taking a couple of days off from working on installing my trans I went back at it.Beating my head gainst the wall,wheels spinning getting nowhere finaly got the trans on tonight.I had left off the other day with bottom part of the trans with 3 bolts started but couldnt get the top end and dowl pins to come together and finish mating together.Long story short after a long day and part of the night finaly things went together like they should.Tomorrow I have to bolt the flywheel to the torque converter then on to the next phaze.Installing the transfer case and cross member.Needless to say Im quite elated that the trans problem has been solved aster several months.

 

Soo you're keeping it now? lol

 

Congrats...that must be one monkey your glad to have of your back.
I imagine the world got a little bit brighter for ya today.....

 

That I dont know yet I still have alot to do and its riding on the fence for now.My goal is to finish getting the driveline put back together..I got to see if I can work out some kinda deal with keeping the garage Im renting for another month.

 

I remember when I finally got the transmission in my '93 Jimmy. That was a glorious feeling! Trust me—the rest of the job goes much easier.

 

the 2 access holes on the bell housing are your friends. I used the little one and a screwdriver to push the torgue converter to the flywheel, then used the big one to line up bolt holes. take your time, fun stuff is a coming
