ENG: Clutch Replacement

[CB9]

I'm trying to reinstall a manual tranny on my '92 Accord right now... I cannot get the transmission to line up for the life of me. I've been trying for almost two hours now. So frustrating!

Any tricks or tips? It seems like there's something between the the pressure plate and the tranny that's keeping it from going together... I don't think it's just the input shaft not lining up with the clutch disc splines, because I can still turn the flywheel...

I finally got it... I think it might have had something to do with the position of the throwout bearing. I could have accidentally moved it out to the end of the input shaft when raising the tranny into place by bumping the shift fork. It looked fine when I inspected it though.

It always seems like when a tranny won't go on, the solution is always to give up, take it back down, inspect things to see that nothing is wrong, and THEN it goes right into place.

I have to replace my clutch really soon since the pedal is sticking to the floor and not going into gear. Good thing I have a back up car
