Hey Eric 


Well I got all my nagging exhaust leaks fixed. So that helps. The clutch feels good, I made bushings for the cross shaft and they worked. My rebuilt throttle body is good, the tps is working as it should ( hasn’t happened for me very often), the gear shifting is different, tighter. I attribute that ti my new bushing at the trans and the tighter ball and cup linkage at trans.

Still haven’t finished shake down. Won’t sign over to the navy yet
