:{{Note1}}The wiki is a work in progress. '''''You have every bit the same right to edit/modify/add/subtract material as I or anyone else has'''''. The unofficial motto here is "Be Bold". So it is up to you as to how you'd like to proceed. I guess what I'm saying is it's up to YOU to edit as you see fit, because with all due respect no one else is likely to do it for you. ;) --[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 18:37, 30 August 2012 (MDT) | :{{Note1}}The wiki is a work in progress.

| − | Thanks for the follow-up; I had forgotten about the fixture until I saw a link somewhere again. I'll try and upload a few pictures when I get some free time (I run a pretty tight, full schedule, and have to plan three months in advance, LOL!). Spanning half the case makes the thing fairly stiff (and as a point of reference, a 3/8" NC bolt will handle 9204 lbs before yielding; course the threads will strip a bit sooner than that); hard to run numbers on a case, but keep in mind the case is that size for two reasons: 1. clear the converter, 2. supports -all- the transmission load and roughly a third of the engine load in -bending- at the mating surface. | + | ::Thanks for the follow-up; I had forgotten about the fixture until I saw a link somewhere again.

| − | I realize it's hard to be safe, consistent, and fair in a public domain like this; every issue is a wrestling match that I don't envy you over. But, we're all here to share and learn, using the sense that we have; in the end, regardless of what you read, you are ultimately responsible for your choices. Now, if everything we do has to have legaleze added, the I/we can do that as well (I have at at-home attorney turned techncal writer). It's a shame we have to stoop to such things, but as a disclaimer, all parties are responsible for their own actions... | + | ::I realize it's hard to be safe, consistent, and fair in a public domain like this; every issue is a wrestling match that I don't envy you over.

| − | In the end this forum is to help folks; I do that often, sometimes to an excess, with design work, labor, parts, fabrication, etc. To be brutally honest (and rhetorical), if my first attempt at input here causes grief for you guys (I understand that), and upon review it appears inconsistent in nature, why should I feel inclined to offer any more input? I've written quite a few things (do a search of my name and gear install, T5 rebuild for examples), and post info and designs pretty freely; would like to continue here as well... | + | ::In the end this forum is to help folks; I do that often, sometimes to an excess, with design work, labor, parts, fabrication, etc. To be brutally honest (and rhetorical), if my first attempt at input here causes grief for you guys (I understand that), and upon review it appears inconsistent in nature, why should I feel inclined to offer any more input?
