Please Help: trying to finish tranny swap before tomorrow. Need Help!!

posted by  someone claiming to be robert2 on  Tue Jun 28 12:28 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have a '89 244 that had a bad auto AW70 tranny. I am trying to put in a AW70L from a 745 as I was told that this was a better tranny and that it would more or less bolt right in. Well I have run into some difficulty:

I did not mark the flywheel when I pulled it off as I thought that there would be a woodruff key or a pin or something; I tried to look at all of the little marks and grease spots and I think maybe I got it back on the right way... Not sure how to check it.

The other big problem is that where the flywheel speed sensor, or whatever that sensor is around 12:00, is located on the bell housing of my old trany there is a cut out for it on the bellhousing, and on the new tranny THERE IS NOT a cut out! Will the sensor fit in that slot? The slot has the same dimesions but it does not open up, it is just a slot inside the housing. On mine the whole area is totally cut out. Do I have to cut into the bellhousing to make it fit?
Please Help as I am totally stuck in my driveway until I can put a trans back into my car.
Thank you in advance
