You will need to re-use the plate on your current rear as the 6 speed does not use one. When you look at both rears you will see what i'm talking about. The plate is where the output shaft goes into the rear end.

Is that the seal that needs to be pried off? Also is a new TC needed or will the stock one work well. I don't race but thought about taking it to the local drag strip just to check out my times?
