Did you use a clutch alignment tool when bolting it to the flywheel?

try losening up the motor mounts to get motor to hang down in the tunel...use a alignment tool

box is on the right track........ as soon as you disconnect your trans your motor has no ballast in the back of it anymore. it has a tendency to "fall forward".


you need to jack up your motor a little bit in the front so that your motor is on an angle and your trans wont hit the floor before it gets near the motor. you shouldnt need to loosen the motor mounts to do that.

I have never ever ever ever seen an engine fall forward when the trans is removed.

Always backward since the motor mounts are bolted to the front of the engine.

wow i totally forgot i made this post ive take the trans out twice already, once to put the new one in and once more because i couldn't remember if i torqued everything correctly and it bothered me to high hell lol but i could do it in maybe 3 hrs from start to finished taking out and putting it back it, pretty straight forward minus the 3rd started bolt, that alone took me 1-2hrs lol but im getting a damn lean code on my CEL light and i can't figure this out! i think it might be a vacuum leak somewhere but im not 100% sure, i got code P0113 (lean bank 1) so i replaced both 02 sensors to be safe and yepp both of the old ones were bad they gave no reading at all, so that fixed the problem for a day then the code came back, decided to replace the fuel filter since idk when that damn thing was changed but thats where im at today, the code went away after i cleared it and ill drive it more tomorrow, but basically the idle is off, it sounds like a exhaust leak but there is not a drop anywhere, the whole exhaust is new, BBK Shorty headers, MAC o/r H, Magnapacks, all less than 1k miles, so if anyone has a SCT obd reader i think that tracks the 02 sensors im not 100% sure but i think it does if they could come over and lend me a hand or anyone with experience lmk im tired of guessing otherwise im gona have to go to the darn dealer thanks guys sorry for the super long post!

I have seen both happen on different vehicles. Not all motor mounts are forward of the point of balance of the engine/accessories.
