Many thanks for all your replies.

many thanks for all the input . Just for the record suitable C6 are quite hard to find in Oz. I know one guy who searched for six months(not many pick ups here unfortunately-we drive the homegrown "utes'') I got mine form a guy who imports US muscle cars and tops up the container with parts fro...

G'day Jim,
It is an all aluminium housing.
Best,

Exact issue is the selector will jump from park to reverse releasing the brake then off we go--backwards of course ! I have read some of the fixes for the selector but would also like to disengage the auto release for safety sake.
Thanks,
Johann Downunder

thanks Jim-this is my 3rd attempt at replying.
Not quite sure of yr message. I have now got a trans from a Galaxie Fe Big Block, same Bellhousing. Do u mean i need a crossmember from a 66 TBird or can I modify existing ?
