Suggested Order of Operations

We usually do the Computer and Electrical first. Then move into swapping the shifter assembly since your hands will be cleanest for the interior work, test to make sure everything is working, starter clutch interlock, reverse lights, and cruise clutch interlock. Then we swap the transmission and axles. Fill the Coolant, and transmission then test drive the car, making sure the cruise actually works and all gears shift smoothly.
