Randall,
I will be installing the rebuilt O/D and transmission onto the engine and
installing same in my TR250 in a month or two. I can see that there are no
dowel pins or dowel studs(?) on the rear plate of the engine and as I didn't
disassemble this part of the car, I am pretty sure that I won't be able to
locate the 'dowel bolt(s)' that came out of the car for the proper
reassembly.
My question to you all, is where do I find these 'dowell' bolts or studs and
where should they be located on the engine?? There are only three threaded
holes in the block that will accept studs or bolts from/through the bell
housing, there are of course a bunch of through-bolts that go through the
rear plate and the bell housing. I see nothing about these special 'dowel'
bolts or studs in any of the drawings.
Any help and or comments will be appreciated!

Aaron, I just wanted to point out that such problems are not always the
clutch's
fault. There is a bearing between the transmission input shaft and the
crankshaft, if that bearing drags it will act just like a dragging clutch,
and
cause difficult shifting. The alignment is important, and the two "dowel
bolts"
that set the alignment on a TR6 are frequently missing or replaced with
ordinary
bolts.....
