Default Don't pull the trans flush with the bolts

Davetherave Dave don't pull the trans flush with the mounting bolts. Do 2 things, make sure the bellhousing is on first, if you are using the ERA master slave system for the clutch bleed this system first. and then make sure you have the motor supported and lifted in the back about 1" Loosen the motor mount block a little. You will need another person to help If you get the trans in to the last 2 inches and have the input through the clutch disc, depress the clutch pedal a little and the trans should slide in flush to the bell housing. The pilot bushing or bearing is the last 1" of travel. Very thin coat of grease on the end of the input shaft. This works for me and my trans as been in and out 7 times. I do it solo. nobody is around at 1:00am when I work on the car. Happy holidays Dave Rick Lake
