    what all is need for installing transmission?

    im going to be ordering parts today most likely so that i can install a transmission next weekend. i want to make sure that i'm ordering everything i need and not forgetting anything.

    as of now i dont have anything that goes with the driveline except for the driveshaft

    heres what ill be getting:

    -transmission/bellhousing
    -flywheel with bolts
    -clutch/pressure plate
    -pressure plate bolts and dowl pins
    -steel bearing retainer
    -rear main seal
    -new pilot bearing
    -throw out bearing
    -clutch fork
    -transmission mount and crossmember


    So, is there anything in that list that i am forgetting that goes with the driveline? also the one thing i dont know much about is the throwout bearing. can someone explain to me where this goes/what this does?

    That harness requires removing the seat and carpet to remove it without damaging it. Unless madmaxin did this I would say that it is still there. To the left of the shifter hole in the tunnel there should be a harness going through the floorpan into the inside of the car. Thats the trans harness.
    90 GT stock needing some minor work, traded my 87 Vert to my bro for it.
