ok i have a b20 and im putting my itr trans on . ive done 1 transmission swap and everything went smooth , but this time i get the trans about an inch from being on and it just stops... any suggestions... please help as i am doing this today.

 

is it on the dowls, or does it not even get to that point.


double check that your clutch alignment

sometimes, once it's on the splines, you need to start the bellhousing bolts and slowly crank in the tranny bolts in a star pattern.

 

yeah i used a clutch alignment tool so im not sure that thats the problem...

and no it dosent even get to the dowels
the half shaft is on the splines, but i cant see if the actual trans splines are getting on to the clutch.

Clutch alignment, trust me. I did it the first time without the tool. The second time it too me 5 hours and I still didn't succeed without buying a whole clutch kit so I could use it's alignment tool.

Even with the alignment tool it still can be a little off.

 

yeah i noticed that the alignment tool was still slightly loose..... i guess ill be out there all night messing with it till it slides on....

thanks for the help guys!

 

check the input shaft to the flywheel pilot bearing... (even though I don't think it's getting that far in)

Some times you have to wiggle it
also double check that the clutch splines fit on the input shaft, and can move down the shaft


try reassembling the clutch/flywheel/ clutch alignment tool.

maybe it moved and it's off.....

 

make sure the shaft can fit into the pilot bearing. I had a problem puttin in a tranny once. Figured out that the shaft didnt want to go into the pilot bearing. almost threw a pipe into the windshield

ITR Transmissons have a bigger shaft than some other b-series transmssions. Make sure the pilot bearing is the right size.

 

for those interested the LS pilot bearing fit perfectly and the trans is back on..... it was the damn clutch ....i hate cheap alignment tools

Just as I was saying.
