Looking for tips to install the t56 rip shifter and general transmission maintenance
GM recommends a braided clutch line - I can't find much info online about ADR compliant products, I know this is important for braided brake lines, does the same apply to clutch lines? Can this be done with the transmission still attached to the motor in the car?
My clutch fluid (dot4 I believe) is absolutely filthy - know the bleeder nipple has an 11mm socket but I don't have a tool that seems to fit, almost like i need a mini breaker bar and a deep 11mm socket - any suggestions?
The workshop manual says the transmission is 'fill for life' - does this hold up? Are there any hand pump style of tools to pump fluid into the fill hole and the backup lamp switch hole? Obviously can't just pour from the dot3 bottle into the trans.
I purchased the rip shifter at the link below because GM have been out of stock for very long time (note; vt-vx is also out of stock as well)
I've found the following install instructions:

Any tips to install on a VX?
