Do you have an alignment tool? What year?

Do you have the car on a hoist or are you jackstanding it?

Are you serious?

[QuasarCav]

get a hoist and a tranny stand. are you doing this inside or out?


What is stopping you from putting it in? an obstruction? or just not lining up?

damn cavaliers!

[Z24_3.1]

It wont line up will an engine hoist help

[Skylinelover]

Is it the same tranny you took out or is it a new one?

[T5_X]

A good load leveler on an engine hoist will get it into the proper orientation nicely

why did you have the tranny off?

I think they had to replace the 1st gear synchro.

I know it had troubles getting into first.

Get the splines on the shaft and give it a couple hard boots. It will pop right in.

i see...

i agree with legend boy, line up the input shaft and boot that motherfucker

the "shaft" must be lined up with the hole, then ram the fucker home like your doing a chick with a dick and it turns you on but you dont want to admit it. but dont force anything, you can be insert it with strength, and still be gentle.

Ok will try! Thanks for all the help guys

Without an alignment tool it will be difficult.
Those tools can be rented.

What does the alignment tool do exactly?
