Wait a Minute!!! Your trying to stab the engine in the car with the 4 speed mounted in?? Dude, pull the trans back, mount the engine in place with the bell and clutch installed and then install the 4 speed.
You will have a heck of a time if you plan on installing it any other way.
Or even easier why not pull the trans and mount it to the engine outside of the car and drop it in as one piece and save yourself hours of frustration? Listen to Bobs66440!
