Remember this is my 2 cents and my opinion on this subject, and yes I am an engineer, not the train type, but sometimes I wish I was, I am a Mechanical Design Engineer and I have built a few motors in my life.

For example, the buttons 92-99 on the console for tc and shifting. They all look pretty much the same if you just look at the front three buttons. But in reality there are at least 2-3 designs that I am aware of. Pigtails vs directly wired, recessed vs non recessed. Most of these have no effect on how they work and act. Parts will fit differently though.
Nick...don't ask how..but I knew you had to be a non-train engineer. Thanks for the info, it is very good.

Wren, would you be able to remove the torque axis mount andf be able to place a jack with a board of wood under the tranny( Its broken anyhow ) and slightly jack/rock the engine foward possibly leaving you enough room to torque the bolts accurately?
Just a thought..

yes it does, it allows the user to find the correct pressure for his technique because each person and each torque wrench has a different feel for the same setting. Some guys do not believe in step torqueing, they will set the wrench at the desired setting and wam bam there you have it. This is the wrong way to do it, you need to step the process in 3 steps, lets say you need to achive a final setting of 70 ft lbs, first step would be to torque all the bolts to 50ft lbs then 65 next and last would be 70, this allows each bolt to have the same thread stretch as each other progressively and evenly.
