Problem. It will only go all the way down with the gear one tooth off from where it came out. If I start putting it in with the rotor pointing where it stopped as I pulled it out, the gear engages and it looks like it will rotate into the right position, but it won't go down all the way. If I start with it one tooth ccw, it goes in just fine, but the rotor is not in the original position. I took a "before" picture before I pulled it out, so I know where the rotor was pointing.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Nothing has moved, the tranny is in neutral, no power on at all.
