Wrong Flywheel!!!! I recently did a rebuild on the ls1 engine and installed new clutch kit. I later found out the flywheel that came in the kit was the wrong size. I since then received the correct flywheel however the tranny is bolted to the block. Is there enough room for me to back the tranny away from the block and reinstall the flywheel or do I have to drop the entire tranny? Since I pulled the motor last time, not sure if there is enough play to just back the tranny off? TIA

just installed a trans for the fourth time on an f-body car. It would be pretty difficult to get it up there. However the hard part would be trying to torque them to spec (I believe its 74 ft lb) with >2". Besides you dont want to have you trand hanging onto your motor by your input shaft.....can cause some peoblems
