Watched your video on clutch replacement. Very good, well done. How difficult is the re-installation of transmission? Will the transmission input shaft properly engage with clutch disk and pilot bearing without putting force on the pressure plate? Does the hydraulic release bearing need to be connected and activated? May I call and speak with you?

Thanks

Good afternoon,

Once the clutch is assembled on the flywheel and is aligned with the tool, the transmission will go up and in. The throw-out bearing will be installed on the nose of the transmission before installation.

I attached some pictures for you to view of the assembly.
