And one more thing. Depending on how early the trans is, you may also have
to cut a 3" diameter hole in the transmission tunnel to provide access to
the dip stick/filler. I don't think the later transmission tunnels had a
hole there judging from the rather crude cut out some previous owner but in
my tunnel. I also don't know when they made the change over to the side
access hole.
