Nice job. Makes me want to do a tranny swap. Where did you buy the tranny from?

Thanks Bruce. I will have to give them a shout and see what it will cost for me to ship to Canada.

I am about to swap mine. i have a question, did you install the reverse lock out? if not, are you having problems going into rev. If you did how is it done.

thanks

You don't need to install the lockout harness, which is just a pigtail that you can connect if you want the car to go into reverse a little easier. It's fine without it, so I didn't do it on mine.

I have a Coast DS, They told me to cut it down 1". I read another post on here, and they did not cut theres down, and they say it works fine, What do you think?

I have the part number of the pigtail somewhere, I just installed a switch I turn on when I parking the car.

Thanks for posting up the pics.

I hope to do this swap (or a similar one) later this year.

I didn't hook it up. It's a little harder to get in reverse but not a big deal. I did weather proof the connector in case I change my mind.

Mine fits fine, but it's sized for a GT500. I suggest you install the driveshaft, and make sure you have at least an inch of play in the splines.

Hey Bruce, what bolt did you use here for the swap? Doing the same swap coming up and I have the shifter pins, but was unsure on the bolt to the arm to the trans.

Thanks

Sorry, don't know. I'm pretty sure it came with the shifter. Probably a M8x1.xx

Yeah, I just got a gt500 shifter and no bolt.

I ran w/o the lockout for 2 years... just took a little more effor to get into reverse.

Then I installed the MGW GT500 shifter and couldn't shift into reverse. For whatever reason, I needed to have the lockout engage. It was pretty simple to do and to be honest, is much nicer shifting into reverse with it.

Is there a thread somewere with instructions? What parts do i need? (for the reverse lockout)

I have an MGW coming next week. Looks like I need to hook up the reverse soleniod. Do you remember what wires it gets hooked into?

Is it WPT-494? It looks like a standard delphi weather pack connector.

No, it is not, it is not the typical roundy delphi ones, actually I did not found it in Natural1's catalog (maybe is there and I just missed it).

I got it here: http://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/900

Even the picture does not shows, that is for the assembled pigtail.

Bruce, nice job bro! What's it cost to do this swap? I guess a take off trans would be the best priced unit.

I paid a good deal more than this but here is where mine came from.

http://www.lapointauto.com/ Do the search and it comes up at $1600 before shipping

The rest of the parts are available from horsepower1 on ebay. figure about $150 for the crossmember, shifter, and boot. If you already have a 26 spline clutch then you are all set.

Thanks, this might be my next swap, but not this year, just put the short block in.
