Engine swap questions

If its the GTI box make sure you have the clutch fork aligned with the release baring as it goes in. Hope this helps.


Think I ballsed this part up today lol if its not lined up what am I likely to experience? Would the clutch arm not line up properly with the shaft?

Because its a pull clutch, as you push the box on you need to twist the release arm behind the bearing. If you just fit it, the clutch pedal just wont do anything. It can be a bit of a bastard to do especially if your on your own to try and work the arm in place and get the input shaft in whilst wiggling the box on lol.
