I went ahead and pulled the exhaust(was easy because I made it modular), driveshafts, and transfer case. I had a friend help me pulling the transfer case and transmission. We strapped the trans to a jack with a cargo strap. Once the trans was out we replaced the clutch disc and pilot bearing. The rear adapter kit comes with a new spud shaft, seal, and bearing for the adapter plate. these all went together very nicely and installed smoothly. The kit included a bracket for the transfer case shifter. The bracket doesn't allow my JB fab twin sticks to line up correctly. These took a lot of bending and fabrication to make them fit the setup. I recommend contacting JB fab and getting a set of their twin stick shifters designed for the ax15/nv3550 setup. You also need to remove a bolt boss on the rear of the trans and clearance it for the adapter(this is not stated in the instructions because it isn't necessary with a nv3550). After drilling and retapping all of the holes for the crossmember(all of the old bolts snapped) I installed the trans and then transfer case. I found that all of the components fit very well. I did have to shorten my driveshaft by about 1 1/2" but I had a custom made driveshaft and it was a little longer than then it should have been to begin with. I will update with some more pictures and a driving update later in the week with pictures of the modified exhaust and shifters.
