<DIV>Tom: Is it hanging up on the firewall? The gear box needs to be
rotated clockwise enough so the "bump" on the bell housing where
the starter pinion goes clears the firewall. And the whole
engine/transmission alignment must be perfect. If you have done that, then
my next guess would be a damaged pilot bush. .</DIV>

box--BJ8</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am having one heck of a time getting the gear box back in my BJ8.
Three people--me under the car-----had to remove the two mounting pieces from
the rear--finally got it situated in the rear slot. Seems the drive
shaft--that I have lifted up as high as possible is still in the way. we
gave up on it after 2 hours of trying. I've replaced 2 of these in the
past but never had this problem. Anyone have any comments/advice they
want to share?</DIV>
