Got a 231 today! Made sure input was the correct length and spline. Brought it home, drained it and tore into it! Got all the new SYE parts installed and almost everything back together. Tomorrow I'm gonna install it and get a driveshaft from the junkyard. Hoping it's drive able again after tomorrow afternoon!

Yes I did! She runs great. Transmission no longer slams hard into gear, and more importantly, no more vibes!!

I really like the plates. Very simple and easy to do. My lower brackets are bent to hell so I think you motivated me to do em. Good work!
