tranny removal/installation
 

alright, i just had a quick question, is there an easy way or a "trick" to putting the tranny back on to the block? when i did my swap a while ago, it was a bitch to get the spline on the tranny line up correctly. i helped a friend out the other day and ran into the same problem. both times what i ended up doing was two people hold the tranny up to the block, and then someone turn the crank slowly until the go in? just wondering if there was an "easy" way??

anybody :-\??????????

I just picked the tranny up myself and 'jiggled' it on, why is it turning. If you set your engine TDC and then take off the tranny, it should go back on without any real probs.

yea just jiggle the trans as you put it on, or your idea seems decent

aight, i was just wondering if there was a different way that i din't know about so that it would slide right on. if i remember *trying to visuasize* correctly, i think it's those dowel pins that made it difficult, or else you could just stick the spline in and turn it until it lines up, can you take the dowel pins out??

i tried taking the pins out once i crushed one all i was using was pliers. Also I have done 6 engine swaps now and I have to jiggle the hell out of them only had help with one swap so.......

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has trouble with that. Trying to get a female to turn the crank while you are under the tranny wiggling it just doesn't seem to work. ::)

grease those pins well.....and the shaft. that always works.......i tilt the motor towards the crank pullet. having it sit up right like that....i take the trans and use the tranny's own weight to push it on. works every time.
