Only that misery loves company.  I definitely did not do that.

Not one of my glory moments, but I have BTDT, installed the clutch fork
upside down.
Kept the clutch in, had to pull the entire assembly out and separate to
correct.  

Hope this helps somehow.

As I am getting near firing the new MC engine in my Ur Quattro with '87 5ktq
trans. I found as I turn the engine by hand (tightening the harmonic pully
bolt.) that the engine does not seem to be engaging the trans properly.  I
tried the various gears including reverse.  All seem to be engaging properly
-
at least by feel.  But the wheels and shafts don't turn, as if the clutch is
depressed.  Now I'm depressed.

 

History - transmission was working perfectly from '87 5ktq avant and had new
fluid before removal.  Using 200 flywheel, pressure plate with a 5000 disk.
I
compared the 5000 disk to 200 disk and they are the same in dimension and
appearance.  I had tested the axles were turning before putting in the car,
but now after being put in car, it won't engage.

 

Any ideas?  I hope I don't have to pull it all out again - especially since
I
don't know what would be wrong.  I've used this clutch combination before
with
MC engine and NG engine, so didn't expect any problem.

 

Ben
