=========================================================================
a spriget is a spriget.
it belongs here.
i have removed and replaced my engine-trans-twice-put the tranny on the
engine first-remove the shifter and tilt-hint-put the 4 bolts in the
tranny mount before you bolt the motor mounts.
if you didn't break open any h-lines and the clutch and brakes work fine
leave them be-btw how is the clutch and presure plate and the throw out
bearing??? if not new 3 piece kits are cheap insurance.also consider
having the flywheel surfaced-any auto place will do it for $35 or so.
have fun
