Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe

[69 Post Sedan]

Ryan.....like I text you this morning, I had the exact issues you you’re having. I had my trans in and out 4-5 times this year. I had the plastic alignment tool and tried having my wife push the clutch in, I lifted up on the tool while tightening up the pressure plate.....nothing worked, other than bolting it up with a ratchet and then the disc will move in to place.

I purchased this alignment tool from Crash at MCACN last year and what a difference that made.....the trans slides right in to place with no issues!

In other words, try and find an old input shaft for an alignment tool.

Thanks Kurt I need a 27 spline shaft to use as an alignment tool.

I found that my pilot bushing had come out and was sitting on an angle which was stopping the trans install.

I need to fit a new one and use a circlip this time.

Oooof.

I need to keep rolling to be back on the road next week.
