    Went and ordered the custom tranny crossmember today, it should be done Friday, around $70.00 and will fit for sure!

    Ok idiots at 4 different machine shops here said they can't build a tranny crossmember for me so I did it myself! (with a little help on bending) Lots of clearance on the rear tranny case, I wanted that, it looked like the PO had a crossmember that rubbed it.

    Thanks Bryant, it was not as bad to build as I thought, cut pieces I needed, stick them in place to fit and tack them together, then hope during welding they don't draw any direction, I got pretty lucky, it fit like it was made for it :whew: :rofl2:

    Got the new water pump on with help from my top mechanic (the wife lol) still got a water leak but I believe it is the lower hose this time, took the crappy hole manifesting Pure One oil filter off and replaced it with a decent one, bled the clutch and added oil, checked for leaks then I backed the Green Grabber Street Beast out of the shop today, just a little bit and took it right back in, it's raining and I have no hood on it yet, while bringing it back in I just gave it a little juice and popped the clutch, woah! speaking of the clutch, it is hydraulic and man was it smooth as silk and easy to push, pops right back up like it should too, LOVIN' IT!
