John, that's a good thought. The tranny did not go in willingly although I did
support it on blocks while my next door neighbor and I manhandled it into its
final position and eventually go the two mated.
I used the alignment dowels, new engine and rear tranny mounts, I thought I
had done everything right and the system worked fine for several weeks and 400
miles.
The next time I do this will be in a few weeks when we put my engine back
together so this time I will be mating the tranny to the engine before
installing into the car so I'm hoping to avoid any gremlins of my own making.

Stan, I was wondering if when your were last reinstalling your
transmission, you allowed the transmissions weight to hang on the input
shaft, while you were getting things lined up? I did this, and it
caused the clutch plate to warp slightly, and gave the same symptoms as
you describe. I now use very long studs in place of the top 3 bell
housing bolts so the tranny can hang on those until I get things lined
up enough for it to slide together. Just a thought. John Mtichell
