[Spridgets] Question about mating the transmission to the engine

[David Ambrose]

We're trying to mate a new transmission to a 1275 engine. After a two 
attempts at assembling the clutch using the clutch pilot, we were able 
to mostly mate the transmission to the engine. There's about 3/8 inch 
left. The transmission isn't going on easily and I'm wondering if we 
should use the bell housing bolts to pull them together or take is all 
apart again, and make another try.

This is a replacement transmission of unknown parentage other than it 
came out of a Midget. I was wondering if the pilot bushing might be a 
different diameter. Were there multiple sizes?

Thanks,
Dave Ambrose
