Sometimes tranny's will be a pain in the ass to push all the way up. The t-5 in my old cobra used to give me and Brian hell anytime we were reinstalling it. Most other cars we never had a majo problem with. Did you grease up your bearing retainer?
i greased it but very very little due to it being so close to friction surfaces. some sources i read said to grease, others not to. a little more may not hurt along with the fact i am doing this 100% alone so aligning and muscling at the same time is difficult. it seems to be stopping movement when it gets to where the throwout bearing collar meets the trany which i was contributing to it being new and possibly not quite just the same as the original. guess i will back it off, try a little more grease and go from there.


thanks all
