I'm in the middle of an Auto -> 5-speed swap.
I've just replaced my Rear Main Seal, and used "Permatex MotoSeal 1" with a new "Springless" style RMS.
I'll be damned if I'm going to put the car back together just to have a leaky RMS because of the seal type, or the gasket material I used, or my improper assembly.
So my question is this:
Can I just bolt up the Auto flywheel, bolt up the starter (with a bracket/washers and shorter bolts) and start/run the engine with no transmission attached?
(Assuming I'll need to do the wiring changes needed for the 5-speed swap in order to get the car to run without the Auto trans attached/plugged in)
