Trans/U-joint alignment

Hi Duncan-refer to Tech Page-Manuals-40 Repair-Fig. 44 on page 57 and it describes the adjustments for aligning the trans with the engine. The transmission also has 3 bolts (2 front and 1 rear) that shims can be placed under to help with the alignment. I use a !" ID plastic sleeve to slide between the two shafts to check for proper alignment. Hope that helps. Phil

Re: Trans/U-joint alignment

Thanks Phil. Its amazing how you don't see stuff that's right in front of you. I have that manual, printed out and sitting on my desk!! It's actually really good, for something that was written so long ago.

Useful tip about the plastic sleeve.

Regards
Duncan
