where did you hook the comealong to if you dont mind me asking?
"star thing" is a torx. mine were a T-40 torx

 

i hooked the comalong between the rear transmission mount and the lower shock bracket on the axle.

aw hell i have the T-30 and T-50, the 40 is missing.

 

going from completly stock to flt4 and tt3000, how big will the difference be?

 

wtf is the purpose of torx bits....never understood those

 

^^^ Just to **** you off when they strip

 

Hell yea.

But they were really made to resist the tip backing out of the screw...like Philips heads. The tips will last longer too. Did ya'll know that the Philips design is made to back out? ...No overtightenting.

I have no idea why they make the TORX in the bigger sizes now. Seems like the standard bolt head would work.

 

itll be like night and day, I cant tell you how much better my truck shifted when I finally put my built trans in, just wish I woulda made it to the track before I parted out my truck lol

GL with the rest of the project, keep the pics coming.

Btw, while your at it, swap to ARP flexplate bolts and torque converter bolts... they will only cost you $35 total and its well worth it... that is if you havent already put it together.

I believe its these 2

a couple of the main transmission bolts(that mount tranny to motor) were corroded where would i have to go to replace those?
