Just a tip on the next trans you may do..

When you use the clutch alignment tool, lift on it just a tad and then bolt down the pressure plate.. Then probe the clutch and flywheel with the alignment tool to make sure everything is smooth.. Just because you use the tool doesn't mean its lined perfectly.. Ive fought a few transmissions and doing this have yet to fight another one to get in the hole..
