How Do I Get The Flywheel to Connect to the Pressure Plate?
I'm putting my engine in right now. I can't get the fywheel to move closer to the pressure plate. The pins on the flywheel need to go into the holes on the pressure plate. I can't get it it to move anymore.
The engine is all the way in. It lines up w/ the bell housing and everything...

not sure what you mean.... the flywheel is bolted onto the ecentric shaft... the Clutch disk is put on with longer shaft side sticking towards the engine side, the pressure plate then bolts onto the flywheel with 6 bolts, the dowels fit in between the bolts on three sides.....

oh now i get it, you are tryin to bolt on the pressure plate after getting the tranny up and in there.... It is possible, alot more difficult but possible. Just make sure you have the alignment tool and try to get those dowels aligned..

When we removed the engine, only the flywheel came out w/ it. Now we are trying to put in the new engine w/ the flywheel. We got the engine in and aligned it w/ the bell housing. We also align the dowel pins w/ the holes on the pressure plate. the thing is the pin and the holes are still far out from each other. We can't get them to move any closer to each other to make the pin go into the hole. Do I just use a screwdriver and try to pry em together?

We decided to take the clutch off the car and stick it on the engine and put the engine back in the car.
Now there is no pressure on the clutch pedal. I can just push it down w/ no resistance. Some fluid is dripping out of the bell housing access hole. Is this clutch fluid? Why is my clutch pedal going down so easily and not going back up by itself? Do I have to bleed the clutch?

I had no problems assembeling my pressureplate and flywheel after installing the engine.
There will be a gap between the pressureplate and the flywheel, just install all the bolts (6?) and force the components together tightening the bolts!
Just make sure the dowels line up! And tighten the bolts evenly!
Great way to do it if you don't have the alignment tools (as the clutchdisk is allready on the shaft and centered).

You gotta pull the tranny out... why pull the engine when you already have it in there? The shaft came out of the slave cylinder, that is why you are leaking fluid, the reas on for that is you never pressed the throw out bearing into the pressure plate... when you pressed on the clutch the slave cylinder had nothing to push against so it just kept going.... you might as well go to autozone and pick up a rebuild kit for the slave cylinder.. 9 bucks wont hurt anything...

It sounds like the rod from the clutch release cylinder fell out. That happened to me when I put my engine back in. Open the service holes up and take a look inside from the top of the engine to see the clutch fork. If that's your problem, take the clutch release cylinder off, and search around for the rod. Assemble it all and put it back on. Then bleed the clutch and you should be all set to go.

oh ****, sorry for the mis information, i was at work.. lol, all you have to do is unbolt the slave from the tranny and do the rebuild on it that way... doh....

You do not have to drop the transmission. Just unbolt the slave from the bellhousing. You MIGHT also need to remove the starter. It has been over a year since I have done any work on the tranny.

Now that there is fluid inside the bell, isnt there a chace that the new clutch has been contaminated and will need to be replaced (or at least thouroughly cleaned)?
