After installing the new backup light switch, the shifter installation is finally complete! I was concerned about fit-up with the console, but the shift lever is right where it is supposed to be. Imagine that. I also decided to ditch the nylon shift rod bushings and install the hardened steel ones.

Got the driveshaft installed as well.

Slow but sure progress.

The short answer is no. The longer answer is yes, but I only got around the neighborhood. I got the carb tuned and the timing map set, then I noticed that only one front brake was working. Leaky front wheel cylinder. Fixed that, but the clutch chatters like crazy. Really bad. So bad that I won't drive it.

I replaced the clutch, flywheel, & TO bearing back in the day, about 20 years ago. I have a feeling that I didn't get the TO bearing on the clutch fork correctly. So, now I have to pull the transmission. This time, I'm not messing around. I'm going to:
1) Have the new GM flywheel resurfaced (just to be sure)
2) Put in a new Luk clutch disc & pressure plate
3) Install new bronze pilot bushing
4) Install new GM clutch fork
5) Install a new US-made TO bearing.
6) Install new GM pivot ball stud
7) Install a NOS GM transmission input bearing retainer (the 'tube' that the TO bearing slides on).

Hopefully that will do it. I have all the parts. I just need to do the job, which I'm not looking forward to.

I'm in the middle of some house projects, so the clutch job is being delayed a little.
