Verify 1/8 to 1/4” minimum clearance between TKO and tunnel. An easy way to
check areas that you cannot see is to use a lengt
h of rubber hose that is 1/4”
outside diameter. Loop it over the transmission at the bellhousing and see if
you can slide it all the way to the tail housing. If the transmission has less than
1/4
” clearance at any point in the tunnel, you may be able to “massage” the
tunnel with a hammer and dolly to prevent cutting the tunnel.
