We are now up to the final steps of the swap. Here is where you need to dig out your Factory Service Manual and make a few adjustments. I will outline these things and provide extra detail where necessary.
Adjust the kick down cable
Adjust the shifter cable
Install the starter
Install your front and rear driveshafts (Check the lengths carefully, you probably need to have the rear shortened and the front lengthened)
Check rear pinion angle and adjust if necessary
Adjust the brake sense switch located by the brake pedal
Make sure your tranny harness is plugged in to the TCM, gray 8 way, and black 8 way plugs.
Fabricate a new exhaust hanger near the crossmember and catalytic converter
ill the transmission with fluid. I used 7.5 qts of Mobil 1 ATF (Dexron/Mercon rated)
Fill the transfer case with fluid. I used 1.5 qts of Castrol ATF+3 (You need to use ATF+3!!!)
I'm assuming you already routed and tied up the harnesses above the transmission and transfer case. This includes the transfer case and transmission breather lines. Be sure the breather lines are up on the firewall.
Adjust the Park/Neutral (TRS)
switch (If it will only start in Park and Neutral then
skip this step)
