swapped out my old blown 22r for a new built 20r and im havin a bit of trouble gettin the tranny to bolt up. can anyone give me a tip or somethin ive been wrestling it for almost an hour

 

make sure the splines on the input shaft are lined up. when i put my w56 in it took quite a bit of turning and head scrtching to get it to go but i had two other guys helping me shove that thing in. P.S. are you in wash. mo. If you can't get it in by sun. and you are located in the area p.m. me i have the day off and would be willing to help.

 

thanks man that would be great but no im in washington state im from and live in nashville missouri

 

huh ? are you in washington or are you in missouri?

haha...

 

90% of the time the splines won't go in because you don't have the tranny level with the motor...

if they are off by a few degrees it won't work.

you'll know when you get them lined up, the motor will slide in like butter on it's own.

 

im in washington lol

 

Where at?

 

lacey

 

I'm going to be driving right by you tonight. Might stop by on sunday on our way back up from Oregon if you don't have it fixed by then.

but refer to my above post about alignment angle.

do you have 5 spd or auto?

 

alright ill let ya know if i dont get it. 5spd

 

i have wrestled and wrestled that thing the top of the bell housing is bolted in and lining up just fine but the bottom is still atleast a half inch or so away and i cant get the tranny to budge ill post some pics

get some of the bolts barely threaded in then try lowering and raising it from differnt points with your jack . Mine looked just like yours and i threaded the top bolts a little the i jacked it up right where the gap is in your pics and mine went right in . did you use any grease on your spline? Good Luck

 

yeah the spline is goin in just fine just havin trouble gettin that damn bottom lined up ill try what you said thanks

 

That happened to me, all I did was 'lay under the truck' and bench press the tranny bell housing. You will lift the motor and tranny and watch your fingers. it'll pinch together really fast


NEVER USE BOLTS TO DRAW THE MOTOR AND TRANNY TOGETHER (sorry, says it in the FSM, just figured i'd let you know)

 

okay ive got it within a couple centimeters or so and the tops goin in fine would it hurt to use a c clamp to bring them together

 

What did you do to squeeze them together?

Naw, use the bolts ... haha ..

I was just saying what the FSM Said.

How did you get it closer?
