Stupidest day in a long time

[kenimpzoom]

Working on my dads 38 LaSalle today and man did we blow it.<br /><br />First we lost about two hours struggling with the clutch pressure plate. Trying to put it all back together after taking it apart a year ago. Well we mislabled the clutch. No matter what, it wouldnt fit together. Finally turned it around, and everything is perfect. AHHHHHHH!!!<br /><br />Next got the trans bolted on and tightened things up. PANG... CRACK, there goes a crack in the bellhousing. Turns out the trans shaft had a burr on it and it wouldnt seat in the pilot bushing. AHHHHHHHH!!!<br /><br />Now we have to weld up the bellhousing.<br /><br />Total net accomplishment for 6 hours work....one flywheel bolted on and one cracked bellhousing. <br /><br />Live and learn.<br /><br />Ken
