The top photo is the original transmission and the bottom photo is the new Megaviper. Is there a connector I need to buy or am I FUBAR'd and have to contact patc for a replacement?

 

Neutral safety switch, and reverse lights. Just swap the switch.

 

Thanks! That was an incredibly fast reply! Do I have to drop the pan or simply unscrew it and put the old one in?

 

Never mind. Figured it out :-)

 

Late to the party, but yeah, it just screws in there.

 

Well you know you didn't make the appropriate sacrifices to the mechanic God when you drop a bell housing bolt into the factory y pipe. Ugh!

 

LOLOLOL. Oh, that's gonna be fun to retrieve...... If your cat is gutted, just start the engine, and rev it a couple times, see if you can blow it out. (unless you have a muffler.... then it won't work, and you will have a rattle....)

 

Magnet on a stick... yea, I know, it will stick to the pipe, but if it gets to the bolt, it should drag it up the side if you go easy.

 

Got it. Now the torque converter/flex plate bolt holes won't match up. One is off.

 

This has turned into one of those patience testing projects. I gather this isn't normal and I'll have to have PATC send a replacement?
