Im new to the site and I need some help installing my manual trans back. I baught a new clutch and flywheel for the car and some reason cannot get the trans to connect back with the motor. I have aligned it several times and have counted the flywheel teeth with the stock one to be sure everything was correct , it is. It is only maybe an inch from the block. Anyone know of any ideas? Thanks
Its a 1995 corolla dx 1.8 7afe 5speed

try turning the engine a bit with a wrench also it wont just slide all the way in it will require some force to do so

Did you use a pilot to align the new clutch plate?

I tried turning the engine and Yes i have the alignment tool. Neither worked, Iv taken the clutch and flywheel off multiple times thinking one of them were the wrong part ,but they line up perfect. it just doesnt want to slide on the rest of the way.

this is another dumb question, did you try the friction disk on the trannys input shaft...

another thing did you drop the whole cross-member thing that the lower control arms bolt to?
I think i tried to re and re my trans with out dropping it and there was no way to get it back in with out dropping it down i think the rear mount interfered if i remember corectly

No i didnt do that. I was hoping to get around that , but it was on my list if worse came. It seems like a pain in the ass to drop it all?
