<div>U have had the same thing happen. Just try a little harder. Sometimes it "pops" into the pilot bushing. There is not much space for the air to get out you are displacing with the shaft.</div><div>Mike MacLean</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757">Sent via the Samsung GALAXY S® 5, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone</div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: David Ambrose via Spridgets <spridgets@autox.team.net> <br>Date: 5/16/2016 10:03 PM (GMT-08:00) <br>To: Spridgets@autox.team.net <br>Subject: [Spridgets] Question about mating the transmission to the engine <br><br><br>We're trying to mate a new transmission to a 1275 engine. After a two <br>attempts at assembling the clutch using the clutch pilot, we were able <br>to mostly mate the transmission to the engine. There's about 3/8 inch <br>left. The transmission isn't going on easily and I'm wondering if we <br>should use the bell housing bolts to pull them together or take is all <br>apart again, and make another try.<br><br>This is a replacement transmission of unknown parentage other than it <br>came out of a Midget. I was wondering if the pilot bushing might be a <br>different diameter. Were there multiple sizes?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Dave Ambrose<br><br><br>------------------------<br><br>spridgets@autox.team.net<br><br>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Suggested annual donation: $12.75<br><br>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spridgets/rrengineer.mike@att.net<br></body></html>
