The mechanic just range me up and said he has it about 5mm from being together but it just gets tight and wont go any further together. Is there any tips or something im missing that could be stoppping them going together? I know the locating pins have a small ridge, would that be the issue? myself aswell as the mechanic are at our whits end. surely it cant be that hard? Box is '04, engine is '04/'05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed the converter was sitting ok! The flywheel is slightly concave, should that be facing outward or inward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
