Patient: 96dx

Started swap today and here's what I'm having trouble with:

Lining up the Transmission dowels so I can finally bolt it to the engine!

Does the transmission shaft have a master spline (that is, the splines go in a certain way?)

And just want to clarify something..
Once you bolt up the clutch and remove the clutch alignment tool, the clutch disk shouldnt move right? I didnt try to mess with it when I took out the alignment tool.

 

When you use the alignment tool and then torque down the pressure plate, the disk shouldn't move.

Damn, good articles.

 

Sometimes its bitch to get it lined up. It doesn't go any certain way. I just tend to twist them side to side and they pop in. Then pull them in with the bolts.

 

it is a bitch to line up no matter what you do. sometimes it goes right in and sometimes it takes a while. my auto swap went pretty smooth besides the fact that i didn't get a manual starter at first so i couldn't start the car until i did. good luck
