Wtf!
Ok. This is not making sense to me. I have replaced probably 15 clutches in many different cars over the years so I should know what to expect.
The story to date.
Clutch was on it's way out & at 228,000 Kms (+140,000 miles). Have had car since 20,000Kms on the clock.
Removed gearbox, removed clutch, flywheel & RMS.
Replaced RMS, refitted flywheel which was in good condition, replaced clutch & pressure plate using clutch alignment tool. New clutch was identical to one removed & tested on gearbox spline before fitment.
Have attempted to refit the gearbox twice now, second time using a couple of guide bolts as suggested & it still won't slide in. Checked to ensure throw out bearing & arm were fitted correctly & not abstructing.
Have got a bolt om each side of the bell-housing slowly tightening but getting way too much resistance for my liking, I mean it's really hard to tighten.
Have checked the angle & the spacing from box to block is pretty close all the way round.
WTF is happening?
