Made a lot of hay prepping the trans. Bunch of little technical crap needed done.
Filled it with oil:
t-case notch:
t-case dry run:
New notch for shifter:
I am happy with the angle too.
I need a little more oil, change the rubber shift rail plugs to steel cup plugs, finish boring out the bellhousing bolts (I have two done but neither of my drills are enjoying it) and bench bleed the clutch... and I think it is about ready to put in.
