Great video. I’ve got a quick question for you. Did you have trouble with getting the 4l60 to connect with your motor? I’ve having a clearance issue in the tunnel with mine. I only ask cause I’m using the same motor mounts and oil pan you’re using.

[@SmileysGarage]

I had no issues joining the trans to the engine all. I do have the mounts in the forward position so that might be the difference? The transmission slid right in.

[@fields82elco62]

What do you mean by forward position? The first bolt hole?

[@fields82elco62]

On the frame

[@fields82elco62]

Is the bottom mount that bolts to the frame in the first hole on the frame like in the video, with your motor mount slid all the way forward?

[@SmileysGarage]

@@fields82elco62 I just posted a short to my channel showing a closer look at the engine mounts. The frame part is stock position, the engine part is slid all the way forward

[@jonnyboyjqb]

Did you use the 4l60e neutral safety switch or the stock one from the car?

[@SmileysGarage]

I don't remember doing anything specific with the safety switch. As far as I know, the engine start solenoid is mechanically locked out via the column shift when it's not in park

[@jonnyboyjqb]

@SmileysGarage i got a floor shift. So it's different

Please don’t spare any details!! PLEASE!!😂 I have a 81 CABALLERO.

[@SmileysGarage]

Some things have to be edited out to keep the videos interesting but let me know if you got questions on parts or something. Thanks for the watch!
