Any tricks to install manual tranny?
I just replaced the pilot bearing, clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing on my 65. I'm having a hard time getting the 4 speed stabbed back in. In goes in far enough for the splines to engage but stops about 1/2 to 3/4 inch before getting to the bell housing. I think it's an alignment issue with the pilot bearing or the input shaft doesn't want to slide through the throwout bearing. I checked both of these on the trans before installation to make sure the trans would fit. Everything else new matched the size of the old parts. I used the clutch alignment tool and I have a transmission jack so I can get it lined up good as far as I can tell.
Does anyone have any tricks to make this go any easier or do I just need to keep man handling and twisting and shoving until it slides on up?
