you should be able to cut and splice the wiring harness for the neutral saftey switch..other then that its just a little plug on the driver side of the trans and then the 2 more plugs near transfer case i believe...i did my trans in my garage in 2 hours with 2 floor jacks...just take your time and have a buddy help ya its not hard at all...oh and make sure you replace your front seal on the trans the seal is only 4 dollars and takes about 20 minutes to replace!!!
