There is a bronze thrust washer that has to be perfectly centered to
get that last 3/4" (#148 in this diagram):<br clear="none">

You can wiggle it around with a long screwdriver, or use a suitable
'drift' to center it. Your best bet is to sit the O/D on end and
lower the gearbox onto it; gently rotating the gearbox while
lowering. First time I did this I must have got lucky, but danged if
I can explain this (see attached photo). Most recently I fought for
a couple days then threw in the towel and took gearbox and O/D to
BCS which, fortunately, is only a half-hour away. David and his
mechanics had a novel technique I've not heard described anywhere;
basically, he removed the pump completely--it's only two screws
IIRC--and split the O/D into front and rear sections and tipped the
gearbox and O/D up--gearbox on bottom--then had two of his mechanics
pull the sections together with huge channellock pliers while David
rotated the output shaft to 'feel it in' (you had to be there).<br clear="none">

Good luck. Make triply sure you have the pump cam oriented
correctly, or you'll get more experience with this process than you
probably want.<br clear="none">

<div dir="ltr">I spent the day assisting a
friend trying to mate his OD to his transmission. The car is a
'63 BJ7. The overdrive & Trans. were pulled to replace a
few internal trans parts which was done & we did not run
into any issues. We can get the OD to within approx. 1/2-3/4"
of mating to the trans, but cannot close that gap. We have
confirmed that the oil pump roller has been fully retracted.
What are we bumping up against & how do we get past it?</div>
