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>
<br>
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>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>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?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
