Ok I decided to start on the five speed swap, atleast do the things that are not going to affect driveability for now. I installed the pedals and was working on getting the clutch master cylinder installed. I pulled the grommet out of the firewall and I dont see anything that the master twists into. Ive done a few clutches on newer cummins' and I remember a diamond shaped hole cut out for the master to twist into...not really seeing one here. Anybody done this before? Also this a 99 and is still an automatic.

Thanks,

Ok so I figured this out, the 99's have a bolt in master cylinder... I got a new one today and bolted it in along with the reservor. In the box, there was a plastic piece and a little round piece of foam. They fit on the rod side of the master but I dont see what their purpose is.... Anybody know what I am talking about???

Thanks
Lance

 

that is a spacer that is used in conjunction with the switch that goes on the rod..........my new master cyl also came with one, my thought is you can't reuse the old one without destroying ityou probably don't have one here's what it looks like

Ok i got the master mounted and connected to the pedal, also got the reservor secured tot the firewall and ran the line with the slave down under. While I was zip tieing the slave to the auto, I noticed a two wire harness or plug on the tailshaft. Is this the speedometer?? I thought mine was on the rear diff...

Thanks,
