When I had the engine put back in the car I noticed the engine tin didn't align with the engine bay anymore. There now was 3" gap between the firewall and the engine tin. I asked the mechanic if there was some adjustment we could do to line up the engine better. He said it was basically a "bolt-up" job and didn't know how to align it further. Today I was looking through George's 700 tips and saw tip #348. Which bascially says if you can't shift into 1st 3rd or fifth, then you've installed the power plant too far back. Sure enough I have had problems with these gears. So how do I go about adjusting the powerplant more forward? I have no idea where the adjustement "play" to move the engine forward or back would be. Any help would be appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
