Cannot align A833 into bell housing!!!!

Use the newer bushing. Much easier, especially to remove in the future. Think mine's from a 90's van or dakota. As mentioned, clean the bearing retainer on the trans & make sure the bell slides over. Then install the bell on the motor (no clutch or throwout bearing) & install the trans to make sure it's not bottoming out on the crank. This is very, very common. Most of us have been there.

Here's a link with part numbers. Either will work.
