Problems Putting Gearbox Back In

[SLDN-31]

Hey guys today i changed my clutch everything went well until i went to put the box back it. It would slide in but the input shaft would not go into the spigot bush. I checked and the spigot bush does fit over the shaft. I aliened the clutch using a clutch tool (it was plastic and i think this may be my problem) tomorrow i am going to get an old input shaft off of an R33 and ill see if maybe it is not lined up correctly. Short of this does anyone else have any ideas on what it could be?

There a pain to juggle back into the right spot. Make sure your gearbox is in gear and try turning the output shaft in case the input shaft isn't lining up with the clutch. May need to slip the prop shaft in to turn it

89cal is on the money, just did this myself it was fun to say the least!!!!!!!!!!!!! it,s also easyer if you can put a block of wood on the edge of the sump at the front and gently lift the motor up at front tilting the motor down at the rear this will make life easyer to aligne. just be careful not to lift on the sump itself. and turning the input shaft will help heaps.

Unfortunatly I've had my gearbox out twice in two years lol I know how much of a pain it is. But as said above, gently liftin the front of the engine up helps as well. Do this on the front edge of the sump where it is strongest
