Soft. I lift it in by hand.

I did this about 20 times...
But it stops, leaving a gap between the block and housing of about a cm..

Just pull the box in with bolts

Jks dont do that.


Absolutely jiggle the absolute f**king sh*t out of it to get it to slide in and put one bolt in lightly to assist you.

I nearly did that....

Cheers ill give it a go

But why does it say to go to 44nm In the guide and a few other people have mentioned it, when I did a search...
Are you sure that that's what the manual reads?
.

hmmm, don't know who I'd believe, Mitsubishi, or some unknown individual on the internet who has written a guide who didn't bother to read the manual...

That's a difficult one. Of course at 44Nm you weren't breaking bolts were you

And you should use a small amount of loctite on those bolts also.

That's why there's 2pages of me asking for help lol and I asked the exact question "could the torque numbers be wrong" and the answer was no. If anything, they need to be to tighter..

Guarantee I do them up harder than 44Nm...

44Nm is f**k all.

But thanks at least I no now when I take them off today to re align clutch, I dont have to worry about snapping them again and again... And again....

Does this look correct ? It looks to me as though there's no way the shaft in the box will go through that plate with the raised inner ring.?
If the shaft is going into the spline does that mean I have aligned the clutch? Because it is, but not all the way.
Is there anywhere I can download the manual from ?
Or if some one could just explain what it is I'm doing.. As in, align the clutch with what? The pilot bearing (i think?) behind the flywheel. Does the shaft in the gear box only go thru the clutch ? Is there another way I could align it using the box and then removing it and tightening then re fitting ?

This is the size of the shaft on the auto box..

And this is the manual one...

So how is that ^^^^ going to into this vvvv

you idiot, u forgot to swap the shafts !!?!

They are pretty hard to find, u would think something this useful would be stickied in the Tech Section

Am I really supposed to swap shafts? It's a manual conversion.... I don't no weather to take u seriously or not lol because why would u be helping???

No it doesn't. These are an M.8. bolt correct? And they had the number 7 on the head correct? The manual clearly states 22Nm. I even gave you the page reference.

Moron

No.
If you look in the torque specs part. It specifically states that they are to be tightened to 44nm..
Mate fair enough I was being a smart arse in your thread.. But trying to get me to actually f**k my car up by giving BS help is abit far don't ya think. Troll as much u like though

OK, so which page in the manual. Happy to be proven wrong.
