I can sympathize. We did my son's '94 Teg clutch a couple years ago (these
days, it seems everything was a couple years ago regardless when it actually
was). I actually pulled a muscle in my face trying to get the gearbox to
line up. The tranny had to be rotated about 30 degrees to get it up in place
so the borrowed tranny jack couldn't be used. The pilot bearing gave us fits
until we realized -- the Helm manual didn't mention it -- that the flywheel
had to be removed and the bearing came out the back. Aargh!!!!!
