Subject:Install Auto transmission to final drive problem
From:Dave Szurszewski
Date:Sun, 28 May 2006 05:13:43 -0700

Hello,
I've been reading the list since last Nov. when I
bought my Westy.  I've finally come across something I
can't find an answer to in the archives.

I've dropped the entire drivetrain to do headgaskets
and other maintenance.
As part of this I have split the Auto tranny from the
final drive to replace
the o-ring and fiber gaskets.
Problem is I can't get the transmission back on.  The
driveshafts will not
mate up ,preventing the tranny from seating all the
way.  Is there some
trick to this?   I didn't find anything in the bentley
(unless I'm just not seeing them).  I did not separate
the transimission from the engine.

My van is an 88 westy.  Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
