Is there a 3rd spring on the fork going towards the rear?

I threw another spring under the dash to give the pedal a solid return. Very happy with the way it maneuvers. Sadly I won’t be getting the trans in tonight. Ran out of time and have to eat and get ready for bed.
I hate when adulting gets in the way of wrenching.
Doesn’t help that I haven’t eaten today at all. I typically don’t eat much on the weekends where I’m wrenching.
I can't say the same. Gym is going to suck tomorrow.
I lost that under dash pedal in 98. Much better...
These creepers are also transmission carts if you can’t tell. 
I didn’t need to take the door off. I just pushed super hard with my feet against the panel below the back seat and it slid on.
Sad part is that I’m finding out now after putting the trans in that a bellhousing bolt hole is stripped. Sounds like I’ll be taking the trans out and helicoiling all the holes on the bell housing and then reassembling. Unless someone else has any other ideas.
i always preferred something more like this

this is the name brand that is offered there may be others that are cheaper, i just never trusted the helicoils myself seemed to much like a spring

nice looks like I can just buy the bushings and tap it myself.
im thinking I can just get a self tapping 14mm bolt and run it in the bell housing. 14mm is .5512 so I’m thinking of just slamming that in. Talk me out of it if you think it’s a bad idea.
The time-sert tap is .5512 effectively making the hole 14mm to accept a 1/2 bolt with the thread insert.
Alright. I got a pretty good bandaid of a fix. When I got this trans and bell housing one of the bolts didn’t have a lock washer. Well by leaving off the lock washer that bolt tightened right up. Through on some red loctite and the trans is in place
Didn’t even have to drill for the cross member. This lined right up with my original holes?
I feel extremely accomplished. Glad that bolt threaded in. Next up getting the exhaust back in. Here’s a meme that hits hard right now.
