The last inch - Clutch change was created by mlines

So it's been 20 years since I did a clutch, I remember struggling with the lack of space to move the gearbox around.
So I am there again with the gearbox on the SJ

Only one inch to go. I used a clutch alignment tool but get the two to mate up again is a struggle.

Any suggestions?

I used two dowels made from cut down bolts . Screw into engine so that you can slide g/box along them into engagement. Put g/box into any gear and as you push g/box along dowels rotate g/box output shaft and this will enable input shaft to engage with clutch driven plate. If it wont engage then probably driven plate not centered.
