Couldnt really find anything like this. I did a swap on my 1g. Engine runs GEAT! Only thing that is bad is that the starter sometimes doesnt catch the flywheel sometimes.

Also, I can warm up the car and everything np, but when I push down the clutch pedal, the engine RPM goes down. The more I push it down, the more the RPMs drop until it dies or stalls out.

I checked by the inspection plate/cover, and saw the flywheel was sparking against the driver side. It was scraping by the flat edge, not the teeth.

Does this Mean I put it in backwards? I will link a video of where I forgot to plug in the MPI fuse back, but this kinda shows the starter problem at least. I know for sure they are related, but dont know what would happen if I DID put it in backwards.

I couldnt get good lighting, so I couldnt get a video of the sparks. But to put it simply its abovve the teeth on the flat surface. Thanks guys ! I tried to be as detailed as possible.
 
From what I read, and I can be wrong.

Is a 2g takes 5 bellhousing bolts, and a 1g takes 4

So the bolts and lengths should be the same for both the 1g and 2g
 
Ok guys . I finally received the bolts for the tyranny. I put em in. Car starts and runs!!! This could happen to someone down the road so remember. Put in all bolt s!!!!
 
I just solved this on mine. Your bellhousing bolts were loose possibly and/or your TOB is dead. It's actually scrapping the #### out if your transfer case..
 
That was not my issue but glad to hear you fixed yours as well. Mine was the really long and skinny bolt was missing. Once i snugged that one in no problems at all
