Uh oh!

As with most things in life I have had a few problems during this journey. One of them was the transmission I bought, a TKO500, came broken. I used that transmission to be able to change the shifter location to a modern shifter not really for the torque capability. I bought it from a vendor who I am not going to name because I have mixed feelings about. While they were knowledgeable and sort of friendly they were also a bit rough around the edges and just not as good as others I have worked with.
Regarding this issue they replaced the broken shifter tower but at UPS's cost because the transmission had been dropped on the shift tower.
