Put in my own transmission I said... learn more mechanical skills I said..
Bought a magnum, cannot for the life of me get the transmission to mate with the bellhousing - I'm around 3/4 of an inch off.
Took the T-56 off without removing the bellhousing, and I was hoping that everything would stay lined up. A really crappy Autozone 26 spline clutch alignment tool seemed to fit just fine. Going to try longer bolts tomorrow; I heard if you use the bolts to hold the transmission in place and actuate the clutch, the clutch disks may move a little allowing the input shaft to meet the pilot bearing.
I read a bunch of threads on this, so, this may be more of a rant than anything. That being said, anyone have any suggestions?
