I'm getting extremely frustrated with trying to install the trans(been working on it for about 5 hours now).
I had to drop the trans because the clutch fork pivot ball snapped off. I figured I'd swap in another trans I had laying around. The trans has the same ID number so it's the same trans model as I pulled out; 91-94 AWD TEL. I had no issues pulling out the old transmission, but getting the new one has proved to be difficult. I've installed transmissions a few times in my gvr4 and I've never had this many issues(maybe I'm getting old).
I can get the trans spline on the engine, but I have to clock the trans clockwise to do so. So, the trans does mate up. But I can't clock the trans counter clockwise when it's mated up because the diff housing hits the rear cross member. When I try to slide on the trans so the dowel pins are lined up pretty good the trans diff housing hits the cross member.
Does anyone have any installation tips besides the PolishSpec install vid?
