Need Help!!

so i changed out the clutch in my FC - but i'll be damned if i cant get the tranny back in. its lined up, and getting onto the shaft, but for some reason it wont go all the way in. (yeah, thats what she said!) - just thought i would get that out of the way :P

anyway - i'm to the point where i'm willing to pay someone to put my tranny back together - whether it be a shop or individual - my car has been sitting stagnant for over 3 months now and i'm really sick of not being able to drive it. so if anyone, qualified to do the work - is willing and able - please contact me asap. i live in Farmers Branch and have all the tools necessary for the job.

thanks

Try a clutch alignment tool when bolting the pressure plate on. I bet the clutch disc dropped some and now is preventing the input shaft from lining up properly to the back of the crankshaft.

that sucks. same thing happend to me when i changed mine. what i did tho was just push and pull the engine back and forth till it aligned with the tranny. after that it went in. so pretty much just wiggle the engine a lil bit
