Doug suggested the DF pressure plate. I also discovered it is not available separate, so I ordered a CenterForce II.

Drive shaft needs shortened 13/16", use 72-73 Camaro M/T trans mount, trim off part of the back of the TKO case for frame clearance (picture in manual), and raise the trans mount pad that attaches to the frame. Possible to patch Toploader shifter hole with aluminum patch or drill the rivets and replace the entire top of the aluminum tunnel.

My initial measurements indicate the TKO shifter stub will come up through the very front of the Toploader hole. The shifter will need to be moved back about 1.6" to be centered in the existing hole. I may make up an offset plate for my shift handle to move it to the center of the old hole. It is not clear if the stub is low enough to allow the boot to cover and hide an adapter.

As part of this change I am going from 3.07 rear to 3.54 rear. Doug said call back for assistance with that piece. Some of the Jag parts can be tricky.
