i reused the Torx bolts that held the shifter bracket on the 60e to use on the shifter bracket for the 6spd. also its a 8x1.5mm bolts about 1" long. the tranny cooler block is the same size, about 1 1/4-1/2" bolt. ill double check that tomorrow or so when i get the tranny installed. also, i think its going to be easier to install the cooler lines with the transmission out since i have to get the old ones out.

it woulda been together already if it wasn't for Turkey Day had a lot of family to visit. hopefully it'll be some what descent today at work and i wont be too exhausted when i get home. i should atleast get the converter installed, and the tranny mounted today IF all goes as planned. i have to pull my grille off so i can get my line off the Tru-Cool to run to the new lines.
