I posted a similar post in drivetrain tech, but I am hoping to solve this asap and I know more people look at the newbie forum. Either way it's a newbie problem.


Just finishing my first tranny rebuild. all went well but now I am trying to put my viscous coupler in and I can't get it to seat low enough to get a clip on the end. At first the shaft wouldn't even go past flush with the VC. Now, after some hitting it with a rubber mallet, I've got half of the ring grove exposed, but still no luck getting the last .020 or so...

Has anyone experience this before? Any tips?
 
So your tranny had a Vicious Coupler Eliminator, that is why you are putting in the coupler? Or is it opposite. Just trying to understand first.
