Frustrating day with the Graziano. I talked two of my car buddies who are super experienced into helping me mount the tranny. I was utterly unprepared. For one thing I did not grind enough material and the shaft was hitting the oil pan, finally got that fixed, it was an absolute PIA with the flywheel in place and the engine and mounting plate in place as well . Then I found out I did not have the alignment dowels, evidently did not come with the kit. The throwout bearing also did not come with the bolts needed, just the O rings.
The alignment tool listed in the wiki T10097 is WRONG!! I wish someone would fix that , way larger diameter than the pilot bearing .
I did accomplish grinding the oil pain and mounting the tranny without the clutch , so at least I know it fits. Now I need to order the 2 dowels and find the right alignment tool and hopefully get them to help me again next weekend. They did like the quesadillas my wife made though!!! Finished on a good note
