The bird kicked my arse today. I couldn't get the trans to slide in the last 1/2" to save my life. I first tried it with the bell housing mounted to the block but I couldn't get the lip of the tranny to slide into the bell housing, about 1/2". Then I pulled the bell housing and mounted it to the tranny before trying to slide it in. No luck. Again, about 1/2" to go. I took some longer bolts and thought I might get lucky and "press" it on. It ended up getting cocked with the top fairly flush and the bottom hanging out with about 3/4". I torqued the bolts on the bottom and I heard what kind of sounds like the pressure plate fingers "adjusting" into place but stopped when the torque got up to about 40 ft-lb. I didn't want to force it past that. I used the alignment tool and since there is only 1/2" to go, I assume the clutch plate was fully riding on the splines. Any tips?
