tranny bell housing trouble

[saching]

so clutch was slipping and decided to replace. I followed the how to in the forum but now when i try to put everything back together the stupid bell housing wont go in. I think im just not aligning it right but man been workin on it for three days now and i need some insight to maybe what the problem might be. Also if one of the bolts holding the flywheel are broken will that cause a problem in the future. thanks

Sounds like your clutch disk isn't aligned correctly.

[saching]

how can you diagnose that? because i have an alignment tool and all the bolts bolted on

Is your clutch alignment tool lining the clutch up properly when you use it?

And get those broken flywheel bolts replaced. You don't want to have to pull your tranny apart when you flywheel starts chattering.

well when i bolted the clutch on i had the alignment tool in it into the flywheel while i bolted it on so it should be right right? and yeah im taking the clutch back off and im going to try and replace them but where can i go get the bolts?...man this tranny sucks ass

[Black_out]

The dealership will have them, possibly an autoparts store.

shoot man more trips....damn i didnt know i couldnt impact those bolts....stupid me...well the bell housing wont line up properly so im stuck

i have had my tranny out three times so i might be of some help. is it the bellhousing itself thats hitting somewhere? or do you have it lined up straight and it just wont get close enough to the block to start bolting it up? i had problems with both so let me know and we'll go from there

[saching]

dude it kept hitting the mounts so i took all of them off and now the shit wont even go on so i dont know if the trannys not alligned right or what but it wont go back on the block

ok well one of the problems i ran into was the bellhousing kept hitting up top on the thermostat housing and on the rear mount after you get passed all the the next issue would be the input shaft. i had to keep wigglin my tranny around til it finally went. also, one thing to check is to see if the bolt holes are lined up straight. if they arent then that could also be part of the problem. also as previously stated. do not put that tranny in until all your flywheel bolts are fixed. you dont wanna have to do all this again in a few weeks lol

[saching]

damn ok taking off the clutch right now and im probably gonna run to autozone or something...so then it is just not lined correctly...damn it ill keep trying then because i have no mounts on the tranny i took them all off

[saching]

damn just broke another bolt off the flywheel....quick question those metal disks that fall off the flywheel is the one that goes on the outside supposed to face out towards the flywheel or in towards the motor cause i dont remember....

[black3gks]

if you keep breaking bolts you might as well just buy all new ones just to be safe. as for the little gasket type piece i think it goes facing in but not 100% on that. too bad you live a long ways away otherwise i'd just come help ya do it lol. having mine out three times kinda sucked but im gettin fairly good at it haha

[saching]

damn alright i have a question do those two disks....the one that goes on the outside does it face in towards the motor or out towards the flywheel?....im fuckin stuck
