    Troubles Resembling Bellhousing

    Just got my machined bellhousing for my manual swap. But having a hard time getting to sit properly. It seems the rod from the transmission isn’t going into the new detent hole. Any tips? I circled the area where it’s not going in

    You’ve got the pins and ‘bearings’ on there when installing, right?

    I found that the main shaft came through first, then I aligned two other bolt holes with dowel rods so that it slide on square enough.

    have you tried that? Even a couple pencils wrapped in tape would work well enough as dowel rods I suspect.

      Yes I have the pins and bearings on. It’s that shaft that’s slightly off that keeps it from pushing it in. In all the YouTube videos I saw it slides in easily. With the rods and bearings on it’s like a X shape. But the bellhousing side the X is a few degrees off so it’s not a perfect match. There’s barley any movement so it’s been a pain

        Shifter in neutral?

          This might be the issue. I’ll have to put the shifter on

            Worth a shot. I never tried assembling mine while in gear so not 100% sure it’ll help, but absolutely an easy step I’d cross off if I were getting the results you are.

              That is the 5/6th gear shift rod; move to 6 or neutral so the rod is less protruding. It has nothing to do with the new detent pins.

                    Great. I said to try 6th or neutral, but only neutral works as any gears will cause the shift rod 4-bearing to tilt and misalign with the BH receiving arm which already set at neutral by the detent spring.
