Autozone has the Dorman 15 in. Universal Ground Strap:
Silver/Grey
Conductor Material: Copper
Conductors: 1
Corrosion Resistant: No
Gauge: 10
Length (In): 15
Number Of Conductors: 2
Stranded Or Solid: Stranded
Would a couple of these work for grounding the transmission?
Seems like 2 gauge would be overkill ...

I would think 10ga would be good enough ... do you use the tranny mounting bolts to ground?

i didn't ground the tranny there, but there are a couple of spots about halfway down the tranny. the original ground spot is on the driver side of the tranny ahead of the transfer case. there should be a hole there for the bolt that holds the ground cable. it connects to the frame almost directly across. i will take a couple pictures tomorrow and post them.

It's a 1980 RWD transmission, so my transfer case is a Dana 20 divorced-mount behind the tranny. Wonder if it has the same hole?
