Attn Experienced Clutch Changers!
i have a 1.6 that i swapped to 1.8 clutch and flywheel... im almost done with 1 thing... i have the tranny back in, but the 14mm bolts that bolt to the starter on the right side of the tranny wont line up... any tips? i have all the 17mm bolts in all the way around but cant get the 14mm bolts in... i tried jacking the engine, tranny, both at the same time and still couldnt get it lined up. nothing is in the way, the gasket is good, but still theres a very tiny gap around where the starter is.. i dont get it! spamnavy please read and all others who done this before!
thanks, marlon

here is the best picture I have that describes the bolts you are talking about. There are three 14mm bolts, but only two will thread in, while the third requires a nut on the other side to fasten it. I hope this helps, i would like to help more but im a bit unclear on exactly what the problem is.

good news! everything is bolted and torqued!
bad news- cant get the fill/check plug off to refill the gear oil... any tips on how to get that off so i can get my baby back on the road and tuned?!?! i broke 2 14mm wrenches... i tried looking for an 8pt 9/16 socket, but that didnt work... will a vise grip work? help me!

Anyway, what you need is air tools. An impact gun would get it off with a quickness.

i meant you can tow it over and use a lift and air tools
i think there's another way to get oil in the tranny tho.. through the shift turret or some ****... read about it, but never had to try it. think i saw it in the miata.net garage

yeah, but the lock on my toolbox failed in the LOCKED position. haven't been able to get back into it. probably should have been working on that instead of screwin around on the net.
like i said, if you can tow the car, we can put it on my dad's lift and use his pneumatic impact.
