R33 Gearbox Putting Back In

[brizzi]

My mate came round last night cos his clutch was slipping. We pulled out the box, skimmed the flywheel and installed the new exedy clutch. Now we cant get the F*#*##G thing back in Tried different angles twisting the box around EVERYTHING!!! Anyone know of any tricks? Much appreciated

[Swiper the Fox]

was the clutch properly aligned?

[brizzi]

Yeah dude sure was! I use an old imput shaft cut off a box... I have a 25 box in my r32 and its a piece of cake to get in and out... The starter motor casting is hitting on the tunnel. And the speed sensor.

rotate the gear box 45' let the input shalf to slide in and re-rotat it 45' back bobs your uncle

yeah. for a start you need to take the crosmember off the box.

and turn it clockways to clear the starter hump of the tunnel. when its in you can rotate it to its normal position.

ps. also helps to tilt the enging down aswell.

yeah tilting the engine down makes a huge different in respect to clearance.
