Advice needed........

[mark-d]

Yep tried slight turns on the crankshaft to align the splines on the gearbox input shaft with the clutch plate........... i'm seriously stuck with this!!!

 

[mark-d]

you doing it on your own or got help?

 

[DEFENDER90-DAZ]

I'm doing most of it on my own and asked a couple of guys to help me try and get the engine on the box - but it just isn't happening.

Thought i'd ask here to see if i'm doing something wrong???

get some threaded bar same size as studs cut to about 6"and screw into bottom 3 or 4 bell housing bolt holes. This allows ya to slide onto the Gear box in dead straight and properly lined up.

I haven't got anyone that can give me a hand as they are all at work when the place is open. They are shut now til monday so my defender is sat there with 2 engines infront of it.

Yes in neutral and there is already a HD clutch arm fitted with 5mm plate welded across the pivot point.

FFS the BB option is for when he's virtually finished;; Can't have him turning up too early..

There aren't any studs in the gearbox bell housing and all bolt holes are clear.

erm just finished but just about to remove it and refit check gearbox for all drive gears first

 

[DEFENDER90-DAZ]

The only thing i can think thats stopping it is the spigot bearing - so i'll try and replace that on monday - not sure what i'm going to do after that!!

 

[Pikey]

do the threaded bar or better still long bolts with the heads cut off. (they slide thru the gear box holes better.)

The you'll know that engine and Gearbox are properly lined up. also remove the engine mounts so you can slide it in level and not have to lower it in over the mounts.
