Transmission, Clutch, Pressure Plate and Flywheel help

[kylekinnamon1989]

1991 nissan 240sx Ka24de... ok, so im in the middle of replacing my clutch right now and i need a little help.. my car is supported off the ground with 4 jack stands. taking everything apart was not a problem, the shaft is out, crossmember off, starter, harness, shifter.. all off.. i got the transmission out but it was a pain, so whats the best way to put it back in with out hitting or breaking anything? and without a transmission jack, just two people and a jack! now, for the flywheel, the pressure plate was easy.. butt he flywheel bolts were a pain to take out too.. how the hell am i gonna put the new bolts in without the flywheel spinning? especially when i torque it to 105 ft lbs? any help is appreciated thanks

Go to your local parts store and pickup or rent a flywheel holding tool.

dude, you dont need to spend more money. Put a breaker bar on the crank bolt and turn the flywheel till the breaker bar hits the frame, then its locked.

as far as the transmission, just pick it up, slide it in and just wiggle wiggle wiggle till it goes in. the stock transmission is not too heavy so shouldnt be to bad with 2 people.

ok well i did what cts13 told me to do with the flywheel and it worked! thanks.. but i still having problems getting the transmission back in, the shaft is about 1/2 in from going thru the crank and it will not go any higher and i cant get it in. any advise?

did you put a new pilot bushing in the crank? And did you grease up the input shaft. Make sure you grease up the shaft. If so, just keep playing with it and it should slide in, make sure the disc is obviously lined up close to center.
