Where does the brake light switch get mounted too?? as well with replacing the dash pad...how in the world do you get those tiny nuts onto the pad??? also whats the easiest way to get the other screws in...thanks....from the noob.

What tranny? The 3 on the tree goes on the bottom of the column.
The dash pad is easiest done with the dash bezel removed.Also the heater/AC control radio and of course the glovebox.I use a 1/4 drive socket set with extensions and wiggle joints,although you can get to most of them with a nut driver IIRC.I like to have a pillow to give me some support to help me prop myself high enough to reach.Neither is hard but the dash pad is a pain mostly because of the places you have to be able to reach.
