Engine Install Problem!

I had the problem Fast Fish is talking about and had to cut my input shaft, if this is the first time the tranny has mated to the flywheel could be the problem. Aligning the bellhousing is time consuming but highly recommended. The most difficult part for me was fabbing the brackets to hold the dial indicator.

I also had trouble stabbing the transmission (even with the alignment tool) because the 10.95” scallop clutch I’m using puts so much pressure on the flywheel there is just no slop. I wound up removing the torque on the pressure plate to allow some clutch slippage and stabbed the tranny, then re-torque the pressure plate.

Good Luck
