[Vwdiesel] still with the clutch

[Shalyn Shourds]

I worked on the car for hours tonight.  I got the transmission more-or-less in place, but it's not close enough to slip over the flywheel or bolt up.  It's also tilted about 30 degrees and I can't get it to turn.  I have the whole works shifted as much to the front as I can get it trying to clear the subframe, but it's still not working.  Anyone know the magic geometry?  As it is, I'm going to have to burn a vacation day tomorrow to work on it.  Already had to rent a car two days :(  Driving a subcompact Nissan for two days will incentivise anyone to fix their VW.  

I'm going to call in my big floor jack, which I loaned out months (years?) ago.  Hopefully that'll help a little.  Outside of that.......
