This week I worked on preparing the rear side of the engine to eventually be connected to the VW transmission. The first thing I did was modify the CPS module to work with the new flex plate with parts from Bostig. Shown below is the sensor fitted with it's new parts. Note the two M6 spacers in between the back sensor and the sliver module. They are critical for the sensor's spacing from the flex plate.
Below the lower shim, there was excess metal that was used to fit with the original Ford transmission. It is no longer needed and was cut off with a metal to raise ground clearance. Above you can see the extra metal poking out below the lower shim. Below is after I cut off the metal. Nice and flush with the new adapter.
Lastly, I installed the new transmission adapter plate from Bostig. It was a tight fit and required a rubber mallet to force into place. The new plate looks great on the engine as it gets closer to being fitted with the VW transmission. Below is the adapter installed on the engine, not yet bolted on.
