It's the same tranny and bellhousing that I had on my 235. I used an alignment tool and will check that out again for fit.

How do you check the bushing to see if it's driven forward far enough? Would tapping a wooden dowel with a hammer do it?

I can peak down there and the retaining cover might be hitting the bellhousing. Could be my guide bolts are holding the tranny up a bit. Once I get it into the bellhousing, I can probably wiggle it enough to get the bolts in.

Thanks, everyone!
