hardest part of the swap.....

i think im just going to blow my car up with c4 or something, i tried all day to get the tranny on an it sucked. the cluth is very stuborn an dosn't slide on easy at all. the universal cluth alignment tool isn't stiff it moves around a lil. idk what to do i just wanna pay someone to do it. --->tranny

I know what the problem is!!!! When I was using the alignment tool I also noticed that it moved around a lot. After tightening my clutch bolt down I took a look into where the alignment tool "did" its job. It was way off wack!! I ended up instead eye balling it myself and then the tranny slide right in like a pickle sliding down a hallway.
