I just ran my gst the other day after getting it back from my lhs for a broken clutch bell. I think the alignment is off. I tried to adjust, but I can't slide the motor back. Is there a standard of how many shims should be used & where they are placed?? Pics would be greatly appreciated.

hey BOATRACER1000 loosen your engine mount and realign the clutch bell with the spur gears try this hope this helps p.s dont forget to use threadlock on engine mount bolts

I cant pull the engine back anymore. The holes arent slotted, I am as far back as I can go on both the engine to mount & mount to chassis.

hi buddy i found this in my manual the correct way & the wrong way hope this helps

according to the 2 pics your gear mesh is correct

Really ??? The alignment of the gears on the trans & on the engine seems off to me. Should they be aligned?? Or are they suposed to be a little off??

How many shims does everybody have btwn the clutch bell & first gear?? & btwn the first & second gear??

Anyone??? If I adjust the number of shims on the clutch bell the alignment gets better, but should I be changing the number of shims??
