Manual transmission, INsTALL(jacking it up)

no offense taken, just wanted to get my point across lol.

i wouldnt run a lightweight oil then switch to a higher weight. just run the standard and then change it out for fresh oil after about 5k miles. or if your rebuilder had a break-in plan to follow, go with that.

to jump the switch, i just cut the wires stripp them and put them together?

hmm, have to read up on that part in my haynes. never had a manual suggest different weight oils and change intervals like that. normally since theres no combustion cycle and deposits to soak into the oil, it doesnt need changing. i guess due to initial wear you could have a small amount of metal particulate, but not enough to cause a problem the magnetic drain plug cant contain. but whatever the manual says

as for the wires, yep that sounds right. makes a constant circtuit so the car thinks its in neutral and will idle when off throttle or while sitting.

i went to kragens today to check the prices on oil, they ran my car into the computer and said it was 70w
is this true? i would assume so but just double checking...

EDIT: i checked TEWD and i have no clue what wires to jump?? HELP i remember BTWILSON said it was blue and black or something... idk exactly..

80w90, i prefer either Valvoline full synthetic 75w90 gear oil or Royal Purple gear oil.

GL-4 or GL-5 rated is recommended.

no. they run to a cooler inside the radiator that is sealed off from the rest of the radiator. if it worries you you can plug them, just get some pipe plugs from the hardware store.

but no, they are not necessary and they do not need to be plugged.

solved my worries haha
i can take the flexible tube off to right?

cant you get a jumper wire from autozone or radio shack with male connectors at both ends(or female idk) to jump the neutral switch?
or do i have to cut them and ssplice it together...
i know i ask this question alot but im just trying to get it done quickly and safely..
