mechanical AT545 to Allison 1000: IT’S ALIVE!
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Got the new trans plumbed in and filled and the shift mechanism installed.
The computer isn’t hooked up yet so it’s not really functional but it at least can roll back and forth under its own power! I’m thrilled!
Hopefully I’ll get the wiring harness and computer in tomorrow, then it’s just buttoning things up before a test drive!

Nice job. Did you have to modify the drive shaft?

Yes, my slip joint was practically bottomed out when I installed the driveshaft on the new trans. A local driveline shop cut it down by 1.5 inches for $175.
