Thanks, Chip. I got a call from Rick yesterday evening with an update. They discovered that the FITech program in the ECU had no values set for the trans. They input some basic parameters and got the line pressure where it should be and the transmission now seems to be working. They'll know more when they go for a test drive.

The throttle position sensor wasn't working, so they had to replace it. After doing that, they discovered the throttle cable was only opening to 78%. When they adjusted it, the ferrule on the end popped off, so they had to order a new cable which should be in today. They set the ride height to the specs in the RS chassis manual which will allow them to align the front end. Then it's off to Belton for tuning on the chassis dyno. I'm hoping I'll have a running, driving car in the not too distant future.
