Here's the situation. New clutch installed, engine bolted to transmission
bellhousing, entire assembly installed as a unit. So far so good. Now to
connect the clutch slave. Whoops!! Release pin on the throwout arm is on the
inside of the bell housing. Proposed solution: Remove front of prop shaft,
place a rolling floor jack under the gearbox, remove all the bolts around the
bellhousing, remove the starter motor, slide the transmission unit back a few
inches, reposition the clutch pin so it's emerging from the bell housing. Am
I missing something? Is there any need for the transmission to come all the
way out? It's an O/D unit, so it's a heavy bugger. I can move it back about
4" - 5" inches with no trouble, it looks like. Is there a better way? TIA
