1984 6.9 IDI, C6, 4WD, Broken Transmission Adapter (Because I'm stupid).

[m002922]

The only advice I have to add is that I recommend you get a couple extra long 1/2 bolts or some threaded rod to use as guides when you re-install your transmission. I fought mine for an hour trying to get them lined up, and then went to the store to get some long bolts. 5 minutes later I was good to go.

Good luck, I hope that adapter is the only thing broken. Honestly before you start spending money I would do a compression test to get an idea whether you have any bent connecting rods.

Good advice on all fronts, thank you.

The motor currently spins freely with no noise (and seemed to have some compression), so I'm hopeful that I didn't do too much damage. If I did bend a rod then it's going to get interesting.

Ether wont bend rods, starter doesnt have that much power. The plate is the fuse.
