Hey all need some quick help,
All day work around the house - last few before dark, changed the throw out bearing - 72, 6 cylinder - I CAN NOT get the tranny back up to the bell housing - only 4 bolts - hangs up about 1 1/4" - I tried up, down, side to side, lower front, raise front, same on the other end - now have clutch pedal engaged (pedal depressed and held in with block) - even tried two bolts in bottom holes taking up any slack - didn't want to force so I stopped - Any help much appreciated (and the mosquito's are coming!!!!)
