To Don’s point, all  I can say is that using a come-along to pull a manual trans into the clutch disc and snug it up against the bell housing is a new one on me. Did you use an old 23 spline input shaft or one of those pilot bearing/clutch alignment tools when you put the new clutch and pressure plate in? 

Be careful!

Hello All,

Wish I had room for lift in garage, not.

The K is 2 ft off garage floor and safely supported. 

The new clutch is installed. And the rebuilt gear box is on low profile trans jack, ready for insertion. 

All this work is difficult laying on one's backside.

I have created tendinitis in right ankle, strained left shoulder and muscles. 

A good friend has offered help for completion of project. 

I have a 1 ton come as long to tug trans into bearing and splines.

I will need him to crank ahead, while I support

Tailshaft for lineup

Recently retired, time is available to get it done.

I remember younger years with more muscle power.  Don't we all.

Will update progress.

Pray for peace.

Dave
