Hello guys. Been trying all afternoon to stab my rebuilt engine into the bell housing and no go. Can get it within an inch and that's it. Been trying all kinds of things. Loosen up the pressure plate bolts and no go. Took the cover off the tranny and can turn the gear until the engine gets an inch away. Tried to wrench it down but it won't go the last inch. Worked the clutch pedal a few times. Shifted the forward/reverse lever a few times. Can't really get a bar on that shaft in the tranny. Tried rolling the forward/reverser back and forth while trying to stab it. I can wiggle the engine back and forth and up and down and it doesn't want to stab.
Any ideas? I guess tomorrow I'll pull the pressure plate and clutch off and see if I can lay them in there and bolt them up later. Only other thing I can check is to see if they sent me the right pilot bearing or not. The throwout bearing seats in there. I don't see anything to hold it other than friction by the seal. Thanks.
