Make sure you slide your new, cool billet drive shaft safety loop onto the drive shaft BEFORE you install it or you won't get it on--and you will definitely NOT look cool in front of your friends.

Twist the drive shaft around GENTLY until the splines line up and then slide the baby in.

Line up the holes on the drive shaft with the holes on the differential input flange. The hole pattern is a rectangular pattern--not a square! If you can't get the bolts in one way, index the drive shaft 90 degrees and try again.
Make sure you put a washer on the under side of the head of the bolt and one under the head of the cool jet nut.
You will need a 9/16 wrench and a 7/16 wrench to tighten up the bolts.
Bring ALL of the bolts up snug and then tighten them all. We torque them to 25-28 foot pounds.

Next, whip out the anti-seize. WARNING, this stuff is NASTY!!! Loctite part number 76764. The good part about this stuff is it doesn't come off. The bad part about this stuff is it doesn't come off! Thomas calls it "Never-Leaves." Don't get this stuff anywhere near your wife's clothes or you will have to make yourself a new bed in the garage (at least it is next to your cool car).

As the drive shaft safety loop is billet aluminum, you will need to anti-seize the bolts before you put them in--unless you NEVER want to take them out again.

You will need a 3/8 hex wrench (allen wrench) to tighten up the bolts. Now, from this angle, you can see the space in between the frame and the drive shaft safety look where we will run the ebrake cables.

TRANSMISSION INSTALLATION:
Gents, here are a few things you need to make sure of to finish up your transmission installation.
Pull this plug out of your transmission! If you forget, you will have a GIGABYTE of tranny oil on your floor. This plug is for the installation of the mechanical speedo cable. But, since we do not use the mechanical speedo (we have the cool new electronic gauges) we will need to put a more permanent plug in this hole.
