Manual transmission, INsTALL(jacking it up)

the help has been posted already. the switch wires that need to be jumped are on the car, part of the wiring harness itself. driveshaft, check the local pick n pull yards, or you may have to pay some coin to have one made. usually 80-100 bux to have one shortened and balanced by a machinist.

except it needs to be longer, the automagic, is longer than the w58, so the drive shaft for a auto is shorter. the dshaft for the w58 is longer.

thanks canadian, so with that info, it will have to be longer. same case then, go to the pick n pull, and find a long driveshafter from a pickup, preferably a full size pickup, with a diesel and in the 90s if you can find it.

then you can get a nice aluminum shaft thats stronger than stock and lighter, freeing up a couple hp. and it wont rust to hell. plus, most machinist rates are cheaper when dealing with aluminum, at least around here.

my DS for my camaro cost me 95 bux to have shortened, welded and balanced, it was from a 99 f350 superduty, 3.5 inch aluminum. weighed like 6 lbs or so, i cant remember but it was waaaay lighter than the stock steel one.

thank you for that.. i might do that to the drive shaft..
but my question for the switch is, do i even need to take the nuetral switch off the automagic or can i just jump the wires on the harness and do nothing at all with the switch???
thats what i really needed to know and beg for help... the driveshaft maybe ok.
my transmission isnt sitting right so when i get it right it may acually workk

i would say you can take the switch out and jump the wires themselves. or leave the switch in and jump them. as long as they are jumped.
