Front axle and engine with flywheel at the front and transmission and final drives at the back end, all weighing about 12 – 15 thousand pounds combined. But the method is the same – proper alignment, a gentle touch (with the help of wheeled splitting stands), and lots of patience. Plus, the same rule still applies – never bring both halves together with force from the attaching bolts.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Alex Thomson<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Triumphs [mailto:triumphs-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>David Friedlander<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, November 11, 2021 4:52 PM<br><b>To:</b> Philip Gott<br><b>Cc:</b> TR3 Triumphs; New England Triumphs; PeterAra@msn.com<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [TR] [NET] Incantation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#000099'>Thanks for the feedback thus far, gentlemen.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#000099'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";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.
