Well, I got the flywheel and clutch installed to the rear end
of the crank with little problem this morning, but am having
a hell of a time getting the gearbox refitted. I think that
most of the problem is that it is too heavy/awkward for myself
to do and the wife is of some help, but doesn't have the patience
for the task. Two questions for the list:
1. Could someone provide me the measurements of the bottom of
the rear of the oil pan to the floor and the bottom of the
chassis parallel to the rear of the oil pan to the floor? This
would give me a reference to if I have the rear of the engine at
the correct height, supported by the jack and a block of wood.
2. Should the rear gearbox mount be attached to the chassis
before the gearbox is attached to the block or after? The Haynes
manual shows the mount being removed before the gearbox is removed
from the car.
Any other suggestions from those who have done this would be
appreciated. BTW, this is with the '59 TR3 and the tub is not
on the chassis.
TIA
