Tranny Swap

["Daugherty, Jerry" <jdaugherty@inacomps.com>]

Well, I finally did it.  I swapped the transmission in my 87 this
weekend.  And all by my lonesome, too! (Sorry; I know Shawn and alot of
the rest of you could probably do these things in your sleep, but I was
feeling pretty stoked).  A couple of questions arose after the
post-installation test drive:

1)  My temperature light now blinks continuously, even though the temp
seems to be fine.  Could I have inadvertently dislodged a wire?  I know
that there was a thread on this a couple of weeks ago, but I can't
remember the final resolution.

2)  The reverse light stays on whenever the vehicle is on now.  Easy
fix, of course, is to disconnect the harness from the tranny until I can
swap it out.  My question is, Does this harness provide any information
to the computer?  And if it does, will it be a problem for a few days?

Thanks for letting me gloat, and any info would be appreciated.
