I was finally able to get the modular clutch unit attached to the drive plate last night. My first bit of difficulty is that the four bolt holes are not drilled symmetrically. In retrospect, I should have test-fit the clutch assembly to the drive plate without the transmission, marked the components, and then proceeded with installation. In this case, however, I kept spinning the drive plate and bolting and unbolting until I found the right position. The other problem that I had is that if the transmission isn’t at the right angle, even if it’s bolted to the engine, the clutch assembly and drive plate won’t match up.
My current problem is that the motor s still rocked back a little too much, so I cannot get the front motor mount on. I’m going to try using the engine hoist and a jack to rock the motor into the right place so I can get the mount installed.
The good news is that the “hard stuff” should be done, and now it’s just a matter of getting things reassembled.
