Do they need to have TOD? How do I check that?

No, TOD was only on the automatics. You'll use your TOD TC if you plan to keep it.

Congratulations! Did you get the engine, too, b/c I see the flywheel still attached to it.

Do you have the clutch pedal out of a second gen Rodeo? The Trooper pedal will not work it is too long. Congratulations on scoring the Trooper!

I'm using the Trooper clutch pedal assembly

Aren't your clutch and brake pedals too close together? I tried running with my original brake pedal for awhile and that was too close. I ended up cutting it down to allow for more room and this was with the rodeo clutch pedal.

Well it looked like the engine had been sitting outside for a while, and he knocked another $200 off the price since I left it there. I took my tools and grabbed the flywheel, and took the transfer case and rear driveshaft off, and reinstalled the middle crossmember and resecured the tranny. Looks like I am missing a thin circular cover on the tranny though.

Ryan what happened to my tranny? ????

Torque converter only lasted under a year. Have no idea, but I am done with the auto tranny now.

Negative. I wear a size 12-13 depending on the shoe company, and all has been fine, no issues.

I plan on swapping in the trooper brake and clutch pedals for now

Slave cylinder mounted...

Do you have any pictures of how the slave cylinder is mounted inside of the tranny case?

Also the shift arm on my donor tranny is pretty rusty, should I sand the rust down and treat it at all? Also I think I am missing the circular cover on the very bottom of the tranny. What is that used for?
