5.3 with early model 4l80e??
Ok guys im doing a 5.3 swap on my s10. I bought a 4l80e off of CL that was from a 1995 chevy van. I already know about the whole top bellhousing crap. (Just run 5 bolts) but besides the 6.0 flex plate should it work fine? Also what trans yoke would i need ive heard a TH400. (I plan on using a slip yoke). Also could i use my neutral safety switch off of my 2000 s10 4l60e? Not sure what exact model the 80e is but it has both trans cooler fittings right next to each other....

Take a picture of the other side of the trans and post it. There are few things you need to look at here. One is the bosses for the neutral switch and the other is the bosses for the shifter cable bracket. Also make sure that you have a long linkage shaft in that trans to support the neutral switch.

Hey thats what i was looking at. It has all the pre-drilled threads the the neutral switch and the linkage bracket. On thing i did notice is the the shifter link thing has a nut on the end. Does that need to be removed if i put my neutral switch on? Its a little shorter than some trans's I see.

Thats what im confused about. What exactly connects to the shift lever? And on this pic it looks like the boss is longer than mine.. they took their old equipment off of the 4l60e in this article that i got this pic from below. The trans below has the cooler fittings alot farther apart so im not sure which model it is.

Yeah i forgot to post but yeah thats the problem. I gotta swap to the longer shift rod. Is there a tutorial anywhere. Also im guessing i have to pull the pan off. Damn i just put a new gasket on too!!!! Lol
This is what i need isnt it? I beleive it has something to do with floorshift/column shift.
