putting trans back in

[risnerry]

ok so i removed my tranny and i got the new one and was tryin to put it back in and its been hell! i cant get the spine or w/e inside the tranny to go into the clutch same with the other axle i cant get it to go into it.. how can i easily get them alined? ### ive spent 6 hours trying to get them alligned so it would slide in and i just cant seem to get it lined up? any tips or anything i could be doin wrong?

Hopefully you picked up the right tranny. Make sure the spline count on the input shaft is the same as the tranny you took off. If it is, invest in a clutch alignment tool and try again.

well i didnt mess with the clutch when i took off my trans.. and it is the right one because i got it off a guy who had it in his 95 gst.

Invest in a line up tool, take the pressure plate off than realign the disk with the tool. I just did the trans in my car yesterday PITA.

Man you sometimes have to mess with it for a while... try a different angle... This is the hardest part for me in a trans job... But with time you will line it up
