In one of Carroll Smith's "X to Win" books he talks about a night when he and a 
well known race driver
were working well into the night to get the car ready for morning practice. 
They offer up the gearbox
to the engine, and it slides home right away. They look at each other, and both 
conclude that the spigot
bushing was not installed in the flywheel which is why it slid right in.  They 
pull the tranny out to
look and there in the flywheel is the spigot bushing. The second attempt to 
mate took a LOT longer.
