Hey Jocko, the only thing I had paid to get done was the driveline alteration. I called the guys up and they came out and took the measurements and had it modified by the time I got off work and picked it up on my way home. It turned out to be the easiest part of the project when I though it would be the most difficult. The guys over at Drivelines Inc. of Mission Viejo, Ca really know what they are doin.
As for hic-cups, I initially assumed I had a 10.5" clutch behind that 230 so that was the typical clutch kit also for an 89 Camaro. I was surprised when I found out that it was an 11"! So, after a day of searching and alot of help from Rob over at Tops in Anahiem, we got the correct 11" HD clutch for an 89 Camaro the next day. It was an easy install with the only modification to the trans being drilling out the mount holes to 1/2" Easy! Swapped all the parts myself, very straight forward when it came to the tailhousing swaps. I had one Gulp! moment when the oil slinger gear that goes into the internal column connecting the 5th gear fell out upon disassembly and I wasnt sure exactly how it went back in and there are various differences in that area between eachother. The little plastic oil slinger in an S-10 tailhousing is bigger than a camaro's so you cannot fit it so you have to use the one that came with the camaro with the S-10 tailhousing. The shifter plate reassembly was also quite simple. i didnt need three hands at all. Just a couple of beers and some music.
