what is this and what dose it do re settings?

carfreak6970 · Jun 20, 2019

That is your speedometer gear housing. Depending on your rear end gear ratio and tire size the gear inside that housing would get changed out to the one listed in the FSM. Every gear is labeled with the tooth count. Depending what tooth gear you have you would line up the range marking with the boss on the transmission case.

bloody adds fuckin things up...srry for duplicates'
slapped some high temp silicone for peace of mind..

tapped off tranny to block contact areas to ensure good grounding

slapped a cpl coats of paint on it...

not worried about heads or intake as they will be replaced with others..cleaned up and painted my old nemesis the tourque convertor bracket and bolts..will throw those on tomorrow once l sort out the tourque specs...will add locktight to the bolts as well for piece of mind..
for those that don't have these..

That's tranny done and ready to install...on to the block tomorrow
That's all folks....nighters

I have that same goofy bracket (picture # 8, post 427) on the back of the LH head on my GT. Was wondering what it was for myself.

Starter cable?

This is probably a little late, but since you were in the transmission to change the filter. Did you manage to adjust the bands? the FSM outlines the procedure and it is fairly easy. Might as well try it since the transmission is still out of the car. it can be done in the car, but doing it on a transmission stand looks a whole lot easier than under the car on your back.

That sounds like a good guess.

was reading a tad on it buthought it better l leave it alone..outa my ballpark on this one...doin some stuff that's new to me so never say never...may revisit the tranny before l connect it back to the block...would have to school myself on the procedure......have new respect for tranny mechs...
