I have done over 200 swaps and I am official stumped on this one. I swapped out my f22b dohc to an h23 vtec and I am retaining the auto mp1a from the dohc swap. Heres the dilemma-
When I bolt the trans to the block the engine wont rotate any more. So I removed the trans after a third stab and it was NOT easy to get it on either. Normally I would have already been done by now.... with the whole swap. I cant understand why the thing is binding. When I took the trans back off I noticed there are marks on the TC from the bolts. This has me worried.... so then I try and take the TC off and it wont come off either.
WTF????
EDIT_ I also noticed that the TC is sitting a little out of the hole compared to normal. I cant get it to budge though.... I think it is actually stuck and not all the way back but I need to get it off or rotated to get it back into place.
Any thoughts anyone??
