trans input shaft will not slide onto clutch

[stroker402]

what gives > I have never had so much trouble this time around install this 273 onto a 4 speed trans . it goes into the pilot but won't slide any further back onto the splines . all stock components 65 barracuda formula s .

Put the trans in gear and put the slip yolk in and move it around

my car is a 4 speed

Read what he said an do it.

 

[Scody21]

Real cars have 3 peddles….. some might disagree, well, they lazy……

 

[stroker402]

I don't understand what you are saying.... slip yoke are automatic trans

 

[stroker402]

my 4 speed trans is still in the car . I'm installing the engine to trans

put the driveshaft in the end of your 4 speed and put your 4 speed in gear. Then turn the drive shaft. That’s what @Scody21 is telling you to do. It will line up the splines.

 

[Scody21]

Both Auto and Manual use a slip yolk…

 

[Scody21]

Unbolt the drive line from the rear end and wiggle / turn it. You did use a clutch alignment tool correct?

Since you're dealing with a '65 car and transmission, you don't have a slip yoke; you have a ball & trunnion. '66 and later have a slip yoke (yes, both automatics and 4 speeds).
You still need to follow the advice, put it in gear and try to turn the output shaft a bit. You can even move the rear wheels a bit to do it (if it's on stands and the driveshaft is still connected).

 

[Scody21]

Also, most of the time it is way easier to have the transmission out, especially with headers. You drop the motor in and then put the trans into the motor.

Slip yoke is on yours too unless it's an early A body and even then you can turn the output shaft. Again, READ what he said and do it.

Yeah, I assumed it was a later as he say 68 Dart GTS in his profile. You’d think after 19years on here he would catch on and let peeps know what kinda crap can he’s working on…. Where’s the fortune teller at?

 

[Professor Fate]

He did- '65 Barracuda Formula S.

It says 65 Barracuda now in his OP, but I honestly didn't see it there before. Even still, the ball and trunnion IS a technically a slip yoke. I guess it's obvious to US that we're talking about the output shaft. But maybe not to everyone. Anyway, now he knows what to do.

 

[stroker402]

yes its a 65 barracuda sb 4speed .. yes I used a alignment tool.

 

[stroker402]

apparently, there must be an alignment issue with clutch disk or

 

[stroker402]

and yes it has a trunion driveshaft

 

[stroker402]

why are you all referring to the rear of the trans . Im trying to mate the engine to the trans

 

[RustyRatRod]

apparently, there must be an alignment issue with clutch disk or

It between the clutch disc and transmission input shaft. Get the transmission in gear and then turn the output shaft so that it will turn and align the input shaft and align with the splines in the clutch disc.

 

[Scody21]

It’s most likely the angle of the motor on the cherry picker as you are trying to slip it on the input shaft.

 

[RustyRatRod]

Yes. We know. READ my last post and do it.

Cus to wiggle / turn the transmission to align the groves / spline on the input shaft and clutch disk…

 

[stroker402]

It between the clutch disc and transmission input shaft. Get the transmission in gear and then turn the output shaft so that it will turn and align the input shaft and align with the splines in the clutch disc.

we tried turn the engine .. the clutch disc turns with the engine . and it still did not slide in . just another way to turn it
