Part one of this weekend’s engine and drive train installation was to connect the transmission to the engine, you will see from the picture that the easiest method is to use a transmission jack as this makes alignment relatively simple. The transmission if aligned correctly should just slide in place. It took me 3 attempts because the input shaft requires rotating to align with the spline on the clutch.
Bolts should not be used to jack the transmission in place, the easiest method for aligning the spline’s is to place the transmission in gear and rotate the drive shaft, wiggling the clutch yoke also helps center the input shaft.
The Quick Time bell housing came with two sleeves which accurately align and support the nose of the transmission into the bell housing. Check that the correct one is being used and make sure this is inserted before assembling. Bolts were tightened to 50 foot pound of torque and marked with torque lock. Medium thread lock was used on the four bolts.
