Having removed the engine on my ARQ Ruby for a rebuild, I left the g/box in place. Anyway today was tasked to refit engine, but how to align up to the "dead" spline ????
Simples, hang the engine off the hoist at about 10-15 degrees and visually align g/box to flywheel casing so clutch plate kisses input splines, then jack up rear of car until one wheel just spins, put g/box into 4th gear, & get the Mrs to slowly turn the back wheel, after about a 1/4 turn the dead spline hooked up and the engine and g/box 'cluncked' together, sorted ,took about 5 mins.
tomorrow we'll get it running !!!!
