Transmissions swap
Hey all,

I would like to get that hooked up again, but i think i should fix the play and pull first. What are some common problems that would cause this?
Electrical System Flunked
I’ve posted before and now I’ve got pictures. Not sure what is going on but next to nothing electrical works. No lights to my knowledge, some lights in the instrument cluster work, and the battery drains if left plugged up. Any help would be great
