Well after 2 days of trying to get the gearbox on,its finally on.
But i had to remove all of my hard work and pull the motor out again!!!
For some silly reason the input shaft wasnt going in properly.The splines would align but stop about 10mm of being flush with the block.
So the decision was made to pull the motor out....again....for the 4th time.
Off the car the input shaft wasnt going in properly, so i removed the clutch,had alook then tried to align the clutch plate as straight as i could.
Clutch back on still didnt line up. As i was about to give up i just gave it one more half assed attempt and donk! Slid straight in.
Which kind of pissed me off because i didnt do anything different to what i had been doing for the past 11ty billion hours.
So then the box and engine went in together,which was very stressful.
But anyway the engine and trans are in,with all the ancillaries. Tail shaft will go on tomorrow.
So a week or two from now ill be getting all the piping done and she'll be ready for a drink of oil and the install of the Haltech.
Then fired up
