Hey thanks for the info by any chance do you no where he got it from or did he make it.

our rsd cover has a different bolt pattern then jim's or oem baker. which is the same as most aftermarket covers.

so the slave cylinder as Al mentioned is your only bet with the BD/baker trans.

here's the difference in bolt pattern i traced when i was trying to solve my chain drive dilemma.

the "old" is the BD cover

the "new" is an adtermarket which is the same as most if not all rsd covers.

that left side boss is what my chain was chowing on cause its so low.

MARV makes a good point. Mine is a 2004 and is actually a Baker 6-speed in a Jim's Case. Made a call to the factory to have them explain that one!

I'd forgotten the hassle he went through when he swapped over to the "chain gang"
