Thanks!
I got the sleeve at an auto parts store. Not a yota part...just call and ask if they have one for your model and year...I think it was fel pro.

Hey thanks for that info. I'll check it out when I get the chance at the auto parts store.
By the way have you ever heard of changing the tail housing and shift rails in a W56 Forward tranny for the tail housing and shift rails in a top shift tranny?
Just curious as no one else seems to want to answer my question anywhere I've posted. It seems that there are more forward shifters than tops considering the ages.

this is what i did:
-tranny on jack
-line up tranny with engine
-insert input shaft to clutch/pilot bearing
-bolt t-case mount to x-member
-bolt x-member to frame
(at this point, the t-case mounting holes should be out of line with the mount's holes, but the t-case will rest in the mount)
-work the tranny until you can get the 2 17mm bolts in (the ones on the sides)
-once everything is lined up, tighten those bolts to pull the tranny to the engine
-get all the other bolts
that's how i did it, and it worked just fine for me. i never tried the way you're going to do it, but it should work about the same (as in good results). when you mount the t-case mount, leave all the bolts loose so you can slide it around a little bit if you need to.
and something i had to keep reminding myself of: the trans will only raise so far before it hits the tunnel. you probably are already aware of this, though
let me know if you need anything else
