This should be an easy question i fear....

Hey guys,

During my haste to get the transmission mated and installing the engine, I am thinking I left a critical part out. Before I pull the engine a couple of questions:

1. I used a Quicktime RM-6060 FORD TKO bellhousing and a tko 600 from forte. For what ever reason, I didn't even look to see if I needed to use one of the included reducer/adapter ring. The transmission went right in, and I didn't check to see if the ring was needed. Since the instructions don't specifically call it out, I just wanted to verify that I do need to use the adapter ring (4.850 I think).

2. If this ring is needed, is it possible to slide the tko 600 back far enough to install the ring without removing the entire engine assembly?
