anybody have a good wiring diagram for the tranny wires? I have a Chilton book but it is vague at best. Im ready to go to GM.
Ordered a shop electrical manual. Going to take a bit of time to get in my hands.

Where did you grab spare bushings from? I tried the snap into place swap but broke one of the retainer bushings. Doh

That's what I got, too. As crappy as they are, I figured it couldn't hurt to have spares, especially with my clutch being stiffer than stock.

Tom, what did you use to sort out the wiring? I have a Haynes book but am still a little lost on the side of tranny
