ShawnW Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Make sure you arent hitting the motor mount studs on the crossmember and that you have the transmission jacked up a little bit. You may also have a metal splash plate on the bottom of your engine that is bent causing the engine to not slide on all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svxpert Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 you have to turn the crankshaft to get the clutch/torque converter to seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerFahrer Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Manual or auto? If it's a manual, you know that little shiny metal snout that sticks out of the input shaft? That has to slide into the pilot bearing in the flywheel. If you don't have it lined up enough, that snout will just hit the pilot bearing instead of sliding into it.

lmdew Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 you should be able to swap the harness over from your old engine without to much trouble. For the wires that go under the manifold, tie a string to the plug when you pull it back and then you can pull the new one back under.
