When I had the engine put back in the car I noticed the engine tin didn't align with the engine bay anymore. There now was 3" gap between the firewall and the engine tin. I asked the mechanic if there was some adjustment we could do to line up the engine better. He said it was basically a "bolt-up" job and didn't know how to align it further. Today I was looking through George's 700 tips and saw tip #348. Which bascially says if you can't shift into 1st 3rd or fifth, then you've installed the power plant too far back. Sure enough I have had problems with these gears. So how do I go about adjusting the powerplant more forward? I have no idea where the adjustement "play" to move the engine forward or back would be. Any help would be appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

That doesn't look terrible. Maybe a little cockeyed. I think the mounting hardware for the trans is not correct. It looks like you have a 911 engine mounts back there. This is very common, but it looks like the stock large washer is at the bottom of the trans mounting ear. Its hard to tell from the picture. I hate to say it but give us more pictures of the rubber mounts with their washers, and the front cross bar where it mounts to the body. All of this can be aligned/arranged properly in your garage with a floor jack and some tools. You can do it. We can help.
