    I definitely did not install the return spring. It must have flown off during the tranmission removal and I did not notice it. Now that I see your pictures and look more closely at the shop manual diagram, I see that is the issue. I don't think I will be able to replace the spring with the transmission installed but I am going to try. Thanks again for the great pictures.

    The clutch alignment worked and I have the transmission back in. Now I have a new issue. The clutch has no resistance when I engage it. It seems to me like the front portion of the throwout bearing that faces the transmission should be in a fixed position with the clutch fork. Currently it just rotates around. Anyone have any input on what my problem could be? Attached is a picture I took prior to disassmebly. I orientated the bearing the same way on install.

    The wooden dowl worked to align the clutch. Napa sells a universal clutch tool but it didn't quite fit. I now have the transmission back in but face a new problem. I have no resistance when I engage the clutch. I fear that I may have not installed the throwout bearing correctly.

    Thanks for the info and quick replies. I did have the clutch out while replacing the rear main engine seal. I did not use a cluch alignment tool when reinstalling it, I just had a 3/4" dowel stuck through it to try and keep it straight. I will see if my local parts store has an alignment tool, if not, I will eyeball it like you said. I will keep you posted. Adam

    I am a novice trying to reinstall the 4 speed transmission in my 1952 B-C-3. I followed the directions in the manual when removing the transmission and slid it out on guide pins placed in the upper bolt holes. Now when I try and slide it back in it is getting hung up. It appears to me that the throw out bearing is the issue. I can't seem to get it lined up up correctly. I tried putting the bearing directly on the transmission shaft but then I can't get it past the clutch fork. I then tried to remove the clutch fork but can't seem to get it out of the housing with the clutch installed. Can someone please advise what the correct procedure for installing the transmission? The book just says "reverse removal procedure". Thank you!!!
