Transmission install problem

[JLX 1993]

I can't seem to put the top two big bolts... do I need to readjust something?

you aligned the cluch with the special too.
or is this an automatic.

What's the special? I think I figured it out... there's two fittings that go on top right and bottom left engine/trans., both were on same bolt. Waiting for my friend to finish installing it

the clutch kit comes with a clutch alignment tool so when you push tranny pilot shaft into to fly wheel it alignes perfect.
its special, cuz it only fits suz.

I assumed clutch was off, cuz most put in a new fly-wheel-pilot bearing and a new throw-out bearing, every time one splits a tranny from engine.
kinda like an insurance policy. High stress ,high mileage parts that fail commonly , are best chucked to curb. cheap parts , but long hard labor , next time.

that steel plate and guide bushing are a pistol to line up. and will it all at once.
so i put the bushings in the engine first.
then plate, then tranny.
cheers.
