ah hah i got it...now to top off the fluids...

 

Good job!! laugh.gif

I am assuming that this is an aftermarket clutch. Let us know how it turned out.

 

ok guys

the hard part about getting the tranny back with the engine is having it alligned correctly.

It has nothing to do with the bearing

you need to angle the transmission correctly and insert it in..

You dont need to force anything.. once you get all the splines lined up correctly it will just fall in.

Most people get the tranny passed the pressure plate and start aiming it incorrectly.. so the shaft never really inserts the flywheel..

Which is why it wont sit flush..

Keep wiggling and trying..

It will go in.

That is the most annoying part about installing a tranny..

It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier to do it with the engine out.

 

yeah i bet it is....i ordered some redline fluid online and it should be here tomorrow, ill let you guys know how it feels!

 

the smell of a burning clutch is VERY much the same as burning brakes on a big rig... lots of smelly burnt carbon. More acidic than burning your tyres...

 

sounds like it smells yummy..
thanks guys, appreciate the tips.. at least now i know what to look for.. or sniff for
