Sorry if I missed that. There are a number of ways to go about dealing with that tumor on the side of the trans. For me, I didn't so much bypass it completely as I took every part of it off the trans and tapped the holes that it used and ran my own AN fittings and lines to the condenser and called it a day.
No you didn't miss it, I'm pretty sure you had responded in the thread I made about the thermostat. My stressed out brain just forgot. Yours looks fantastic. Where did you find a tap that big? I just tapped and tread sealed the holes. Didn't install the trans yet so maybe I can still go you're route

Seemed like the easier yet solid route
Could be. And I have no opinion on how anyone chooses to do it nor am I looking at start a conversation about it. That's not the look nor the way I wanted to go, hence why I did what I did. If you want to yours the way you want, I fully support you in that choice.

Gotcha. Yours looks 100% better then mine. I'm just worried about tapping the case

It was a very slow and nerve racking process in trying to keep all the shavings out of the transmission. I've done it to 2 of them and neither have had an issue if you are slow and take your time. It for sure is not for the faint of heart. I'm pretty bold in taking on projects, even if i've got no clue what i'm doing. Like installing a Cresspo Hemiwing or doing an 8 speed swap in my apartment garage with nothing but basic hand tools and a floor jack :cool::laughing1:

Almost anything you do to these transmissions it will need to have a quick learn done on it. If that doesn't help I would check the shifting solenoid.
