Bought the kit from Dennis (quite a few years ago) and had it installed locally. No issues.

The metal line for the fluid feed to TS bushing could interfere with shift selection lever. If so, just re-curve the line away from the lever.

Its actually that 90 degree npt elbow and line coming out of the feed hole that is in the way. Hmmmm

I don’t see how your cable could be interfering with the brass fitting. Can u post a pic so we can see the issue?

Thanks for that. Yeah, it's bizarre. The linkage and that not connecting the two want to go straight across that 90 degree brass fitting on mine. I'll get a pic when I can. Thank you

So I found that the 90 degree elbow coming out of the pressure port is pointed towards the ground and interfering with the linkeage. Simple mistake and easily fixed. That's what happens when you're working for days on the car and your brain is all fuzzy and you're frustrated as hell. :D

I'm in the process of gathering all the parts to eaton swap my 03. Will be doing this as well.
btw, Jerry W the J-mod guy did this to my cousins trans back in 2001 on his 95 mustang and in 17 years I hadn't had a single problem with it and thats on a stock rebuild 4r using borg warner frictions and putting well over 600rwhp through it. its a very worthwhile mod and cheap.

Yes, less than $20 for a bushing, 2 fittings ans steel line. Super easy to do, easy instructions to follow

By the way, thank you for the pic, it turns out the fitting was clocked too far and the line was in the way of everything. Dumb mistake on my part from working on the car until my brain was fuzzy. Its all good now. :beer:
