What year did the trans come out of?

Ensure torqueconverter is installed correctly.
When you get the shift cable in ensure it engages in all gears & selector lines up with gears selection.
Correctly adjust TV cable.

Connect cooling lines.
Maybe change fluid & filter. Verify fluid level.

Make sure all connections are correct.

I think 90 they went to a VSS, i say 89 and older so it works with mechanical speedo, i would swap speedo gears from your old trans without knowing what car it came from, i put a 700r from my wifes car with a 145mph speedo in mine which has a 85mph speedo and at 40mph its really doing about 65.

The VSS and mech speedo drive units interchange so simply R/R to suit whatever the car requires

Vetteoz what do you mean R/R? Because I need to swap from a vss to a mechanical speedo cable the 700R4 that I'm putting in is a vss and my car is a 89.

R/R. Shorthand for remove and refit

As noted the two interchange

This cable drive unit



fits here in place of the VSS shown
