Project Sloan 93 yj

Put in an upgraded 3rd kit to prevent popping out of gear, replaced reverse and 1st gear due to rust pitted teeth, but was surprised to find brand new syncros and bushings. Still replacing bearings, but I’ll save my kit for the spare trans I’m building.

Bucket of mineral spirits for cleaning works pretty good

Ha, no spares needed for a 465 they be tanks.
 
Shorter throw, 4 inches rearward, improved shift rails supposed to be smoother. I finally found one that wasn’t 500 after shipping

Uses a different stick too that has a one piece bottom so there’s no tack welds to fail and get sloppy. I found a new stick unbent for $60
 
Installing the trans, about 1/2 inch from home I’m meeting pressure plate resistance or pilot bearing not aligned. It’s a hydraulic clutch and the bellhousing is not attached, so I don’t see any way to depress the clutch.

Is my option to run up the bolts and pray I don’t break a tab off, or is there a trick I’m missing?

I do mine but leaving the pressure plate loose, seat the trans the slide it back and toque the plate.
