I mated the transmission to the engine and installed the starter and wiring today. For giggles I tried to pull on the clutch release arm but could not get it to budge after contacting the pressure plate.
Dumb question, is there anything to do but push the transmission and engine together and tighten up the 4 or 5 nuts/bolts? I'm wondering about that clutch, should I be able to depress those springs on that pressure plate by hand? The whole thing kinda when together alot easier than I imagined, did I miss something?

I used two floor jacks one on each side and lowered the car onto the motor and trans. I also used jack stands as a backup and then bolted everything up and raised the car back up with the two floor jacks. I now have a scissor lift and a lift table. Much easier!!! |
