From the rear of the engine, remove that top center stud that bolts the transmission to the block. Take it to your local hardware store and buy the longest bolt you can find in that thread size. </div><div>2. Cut the head off the long bolt you just bought and round that end so you end up with a stud and screw that into that upper center hole in the block.</div><div>3. Position the transmission so you can slide ii on to that stud and push it forward. The transmission input shaft will be lined up with the clutch disk and you should just have to rotate the driveshaft yoke to send it home.</div><div>Dave Connitt </div><div><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Nov 11, 2021, at 4:56 PM, David Friedlander <forzion7@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000099">Thanks for the feedback thus far, gentlemen.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000099"> </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000099">My effort only included the transmission.

(You did first align the clutch with the pilot bearing in the end of the crankshaft, right? If you took it apart and did not touch the clutch, you’re ok on this already. ) also try rotating the transmission about the input shaft axis a bit. That helps to align the splines.</div><div>Good luck!</div><div>Phil G<br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Nov 11, 2021, at 4:32 PM, David Friedlander via NET <<a href="mailto:net@newenglandtriumphs.org" target="_blank">net@newenglandtriumphs.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,153)">Greetings, listers!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,153)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,153)">I have now replaced the throwout bearing and sleeve on my OD transmission </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,153)">and am trying to re-mate it with the engine.
