I have not gotten past that part ...

I'm not sure that's enough parts.

I need to call CanEV this afternoon and have Randy walk me through this procedure. I should have called him much earlier. Thanks to Rob for pointing that out ...

From the people I have talked to, it appears that I will need pretty much the rest of the clutch mechanism to push the clutch plate and flywheel together firmly ... even though I don't WANT any of the clutch. I'd be happier with a coupler that mates the keyed shaft of the motor to the splines on the transmission directly. But this is my first one, so I should likely do it the way it was designed to work before I start changing stuff.
