Got the 6x2 manual transmission in-place of the 4x4 with the torque converter.

Had to shorten the coupler 1 1/4", had to cut it slowly with a chop saw. Tried to cut it in the lathe with a carbide tipped cutter, but it instantly dulled the carbide cutter. Pretty tough coupler.

With the 6x2 transmission installed.

Anyone need a 4x4 transmission with the torque converter?

Question: That thing looks pretty short - what will keep your modified coupler from sliding one way or the other and effectively putting you
in neutral?

That's the wrong picture :oops: that is the piece I cut off the coupler.
