Unfortunately, this is the only pic I got of the spliced up auto shifter harness. Check the pinned T56 swap thread, the wiring is the same! We'll cover the last 4 wires on that plug here in a second.... Oh, and the orange and black wires there to the right are for the cigarette lighter

Fits like a glove, stock driveshaft is the perfect length! A little bit more engagement wouldn't hurt, but there's still plenty of spline contact

You can see where the torque arm hits the bar here... thankfully this position worked out, woulda been pretty torqued if I had to cut the arm

Didn't get a pic of the crossmember installation on the final trans install, so here it is from my test fit, when I marked the shifter location. MAKE SURE THE TORQUE ARM IS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE MOUNT, towards the trans tunnel!

First test fit with the arm! I ended up putting the arm on the other side of the shifter nub so it cleared the center console

Here, you can kinda see where the front two shifter bolts tuck under the front of the trans tunnel.... looking at it, there MAY be clearance to remove the 10mm bolts with the trans in, but they are pretty dang long... I'm certainly going to try to do so before I lower it for my new shifter. Dang it!

View of the HTOB through the inspection hole. TEFLON TAPE. It's touching the pressure plate here because I had already plumbed and adjusted the clutch. Before the clutch gets fluid and pressure, it WILL have a slight air gap here, as we measured for earlier!

Here's the clutch lines coming out of the back of the S10 slave cyl mount. The black sheathed one is for the clutch master (lower fitting), while the bare stainless one is the speed bleeder (upper fitting)

Fully seated!! You can see the driver's side inspection cover hole there. I have small hands, so I was able to jam my hand in there and guide the HTOB onto the input shaft

Access to the shifter mounting with the trans about an inch from being fully seated, and angled down

Here, you can see where the hole from the rear pass side bolt lined up, and the pilot hole was drilled

BAM! Thanks, Michael! You can see the outline where we traced the boot, then the inner diameter was eyeballed to account for the mounting flange

Here's the little doodabber that the auto shifter mounts to. We zipped off the plate at the back, then drilled out all the spot welds where it was still attached

How I mounted my res; I didn't grab the proper mounting plate back in the day because I honestly didn't think about it, so it's just zip tied to the wiring harness. I ended up zip tying the speed bleeder line next to the res, sitting slightly higher

This is the height where my clutch pedal ended up. Very short, but this is where it wants to sit! Be careful not to adjust based on height, you'll risk damaging your HTOB if it has too much throw!

Clearance with the brake booster, plus the angle of the barb fitting I ended up settling on.

Here it is FINALLY installed.... I couldn't get washers on the bolts without a 2nd person to hold it in place, but I would like to remedy that in the future.... fine for now.

Here's how much clearance I had with the wheel well... not much, but she fits!

The hole wasn't fully finished here, you can see that the rubber boot was still contacting the edge
