[Ernie Stephens]

Hey Michael,

You are right!  Found the connection point at the tranny but not the engine . . can you tell me where they hid the connection point at engine?
Thanks,
Ernie

> Wouldn't you know it; a couple of hours ago I had just finished changing the oil pan gasket, replaced the neutral lockout switch, tightened what I think is the oil pressure switch to keep it from leaking oil, and replaced the steering damper.  So, I clean up the mess, get in the car to take it for a spin and the first thing out of the driveway "bang" as it shifts into 2nd gear, and bang again as it goes through each shift..  I did feel a bit of a hard shift before I put the car up on jacks but something happened dramatically in the course of a few hours on the jacks; did I break something when I jacked the car up or did I disconnect something unknowingly?.  I only lowered the transmission enough to remove and replace the neutral switch!  Any ideas? I had this transmission rebuilt at 99k and it is now at 214k.
