After replacing the input shaft on the M5OD trans I am having trouble getting the trans to seat to the engine bell housing. I have aligned the trans as accurately as possible but can not get it the last 3/8 inch. I can just see the flywheel through the gap from the trans to the bell housing. Before placing the engine in the vehicle I took off the flywheel and pressure plate and slid it onto the trans input shaft. This was to bench check the fit before installing the trans. Somehow the trans will not seat. Any ideas? I've been at this all day. Good think I am retired.
