ok so yesterday I took my tranny out it was a bitch to get out from the car, once it was removed I installed my new flywheel and clutch. then today I go to put my tranny back up into the engine bay and I can't get it up there

HELP please I need my car to go to work tommoro!!

 

so what are you asking... it's pretty much the reverse of what you did. get under there, make sure you have those dowel pins on the tranny/block to help guide you in aligning the tranny (did you bother with changing the throwout bearing and pilot bearing?), bench press that tranny up there, bolt everything down to spec, throw in your tranny fluid and get back to work

 

yes I changed to tob and the pilot bearing? fidanza is weird BTW putting the bearing in the rear of the flywheel.lol..

no I cant get it to come back up to the motor.

to get it out I was shaking it like a ***** once it was off the motor, not I have a 2x4 over the engine bay to work as a lift.

It keeps hitting the stabalizer bar and the T bone mount, I can't get the T bone mount off

 

You should be able to maneuver it around. Are you doing this yourself? If you're shaking like a leaf, maybe you should get somebody to give you a hand, or use a jack. Just make sure you line up the dowel pins and then pay special attention to getting the mainshaft in there lined up properly. Just monkey around with it, it'll go in, just try to be patient.

You did drain the fluid, didn't you?

 

ya doing this by my self sort of I just get my step dad to help when ever I need him.
ya I drained the tranny, I gunna go and try it again I just needed to calm down I will take pics of my 2x4 tranny lift lol

 

When I did mine, I used a jack to get it as close as possible, then when I got it kinda lined up, I used a bunch of long center-punches to slide in where the bolts go to keep it semi-aligned.

You could use screwdrivers or something else that will fit in the bolt holes, but basically it'll give you some leverage until you can get the first bolt in - once you get one bolt to go in, then it's a bit easier to wiggle around and get it fully aligned.

This part was the hardest for me when i replaced my clutch. Probably took me a good 20 min or so to get it up and lined up right. It's a b itch.

 

ok so I got the tranny up and the splines all in the clutch.. but I am just about to put in the axles blah blah blah but I noticed that there is a rubber cap thing at the top of the tranny is that another filler hole???
I will post a pic

No the filler hole is to the left of the axle hole on the tranny. Its a 17mm bolt. Make sure the vehicle is level and fill until it starts coming out of the hole. Screw in your bolt and youre good to go.

 

omg, i just changed my clutch, and was hooking back up all the sensors, and couldnt find one for an hour, I was like where did it go? finally realized it dropped down in the tranny housing. had to undo the tranny AGAIN to fetch it out. good god.

Thats just a cap over the breather hole to prevent crap from getting into it, thats how its supposed to be.
