okay so i'm putting a T2 tranny in, the tranny isn't slipping on, i played with the teeth so that they would fit right on, also i tilted the engine and it's still not slippin on, the clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing, ect are in there exact spots, everthing is perfect, but my tranny isn't going in......has anyone ran into this problem and if so what tips can they give me, thank you

 

Is this the same trans you took out, or a different one? Is it the same clutch disc, or a new one? Did you change the pilot bearing, or is it the old one? Did you use an input shaft tool (the plastic kind) to line up the clutch disc? Need more info.

 

i'm putting an another tranny in to my car, it's a S4, also i changed the clutch, the pressure plate, flywheel, pilot bearing ect ect, i used the plastic tool to line up the disc.....

 

Its a TII clutch? N/A clutch have a different number of teeth from what I have been told. Aside from that, it is a bit difficult to mate the tranny and engine together if you are under the car. It should be easier to do it if you remove the engine and tranny together. Kinda late in your situation. So, if I were you, (and I have been in your position) I'd hold my tongue right and keep trying as long as the clutch is a TII clutch.

 

are u putting it in an NA or another TII?

 

TII tranny : 23 teeth on the spline.
N/A tranny: 22 teeth on the spline.

I know that cause I learned that the hard way. I spent a day and a half trying to mate a turbo tranny to an N/A. That is....before I counted the teeth on the splines....

 

OK - Now we're getting somewhere. The Big Question - Before you installed the new clutch, did you slide the disc onto the input shaft to be sure it fit? If not, it sounds like there's you're problem.

 

ok....you need to be detailed.....what car is it, what clutch, what tranny and what you did....no more of this crap.....full story...1 post.

 

i tested the clutch be 4 i installed it on the car, everything matches up, it's a S4 turbo 2 and i'm installing a turbo 2 tranny into my car

 

Did you use an alignment tool to center the clutch disc. If you did you just have to keep trying. Turn the flywheel a little and try shoving the tranny in again. Sometimes it slips right in and sometimes it takes a while. Make you you dont have a dowl in the engine and in the same spot of the tranny. Sometimes the dowl comes out with the tranny.

 

Turning the tranny is easier.. lol... and he said he used the plastic allignment tool.

My suggestion is a) check the allignment again with the plastic tool real quick, make sure it didn't move somehow. b) turn the transmission a little and try again... I've never had as much trouble as it sounds like you're having getting it in...

Checking the dowels is a good idea too...

put the tranny into gear......have one person slowly move the teeth(I used a broken U-JOINT at the Driveshaft end of the tranny) until it matches up........it should slip right in........hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....sex

 

Its all about the angle of the dangle

 

 

its just a bitch to do it under the car like that. for some reason its always hard lining up transmissins in these cars. you need a turbo flywheel, a turbo clutch, turbo starter and the turbo transmission. n/a stuff doesn't work--jeremie
