Some snags with my conversion
Runout was good, took pressure plate and clutch off to see if trans would mate nicely with bell on, all good…
Then I started over and realized that the McLeod pilot tool is actually worse than I thought. The pilot area was so loose there is zero chance of being accurate.
I ran a bit of tape over it, made sure it was really snug, then set it up again. I did the up all the way, down all the way, and tightened in the middle.
The trans popped in nicely using three guide pins (cut off bolts).
Sorry for the novel but man I cannot get over how crappy that tool is that McLeod includes..
