tranny does not want to go on motor!!!!

[flashbycb7]

Ok I have a f22b single cam non v tech. And I'm trying to put my tranny on from a 93 accord. Evrything bolts up perfectly but where you tranny goes on in the middle it goes thru the middle of your pressure plate it that's. Where my problem is. It won't go thru there at all. And i used my clutch allignment tool so its alligned correctly but it still does not want to go on all the way. What can I do to fix this problem or for it to go thru the middle of the pressure plate?

obviously you did your best aligning the clutch plate, but double check it again. you greased the inner splines, right? make sure you are pushing the tranny on STRAIGHT and not letting it sag. ALSO: make sure the alignment dowel pins are not interfering. there are 2 hollow pins on the edge of the housing (one on either side) that line up between the housing and block, sometimes people leave an extra peg in there ("came with the tranny") and they obviously cant both occupy the same hole, so the tranny never sits flush.

my recommendation if all else fails: get somebody to put a wrench on the crank pulley on the other side and wiggle it back and forth a little, while you are pushing the tranny on. usually helps.

Ok thanks sounds good I will try that and look tommorrow and no I did not use any grease but I will and I was pushing it

Oh and also you explained it well but I don't understand what you were talkin about 2 dowels? What are they? And yea I was going to do the little crank puller trick but I'm doing my swap by myself lol

The hollow "pins" on the block or trans housing...

Anybody have a picture of what it looks like. Sorry I'm just not with my car now

they look like this:



but sticking out of your transmission instead. later.

[flashbycb7]

Ok so if its sticking out I need to take it off correct?

[flashbycb7]

ok I know what you are talking about I will check out 1st thing tommorrow morning thanks type g..

you should have 2 in the tranny do NOT take them out

if there are any on the engine side take those out

you should only have a total of 2

I got the tranny on and everything sits flush but the bolts don't want to go all the way in like there too. Long there tightened all the way but still have about a inch left to go in...

are you sure you have all the bolts going back in their original holes b/c some are longer and shorter than others

[flashbycb7]

Yep I'm pretty sure cause these are the same ones I used when I did my auto to manual swap. But I will proablly just go get some new bolts that are a little shorter

Slightly OT but would still apply, another good lesson would be to make sure that the clutch disk actually slides directly onto the tranny's input shaft before you install the clutch. I had an action clutch where the splines on the disk were mis-machined and it would not even start to slide onto the shaft.
