Good day, everyone.
I have prepared my HVDA conversion Toyota transmission to the point of installation. Upon sliding the transmission into place,
the bell housing is open a gap of approximately two inches at the bottom. The bell housing was hung on the top three threaded studs and nuts placed as loose as possible to hold the tranny into place.
The kit hardware nuts and bolts are two short to bolt through: 1 1/2 inches, I think.
I considered buying longer bolts and snugging the unit up, but I am concerned that doing so may be bad as it could be putting stress between the input shaft and the input shaft bearing. Transmission on horizontal plane is hanging slightly high at the rear.
Also, at the rear of the transmission the cross brace with rubber bushings has been removed to install the new rubber. There are three sets of holes to mount the cross brace. Original installation, rear and center holes were used. Upon re-installation, center and forward holes are an option. Any input? Must this part be installed prior to sliding the tranny into place? Is there room to install this part after the transmission is situated for bolting?
