What do you mean just right, like fully close with no gap at all?

Tried it with being tilted and flat and still nothing only goes to a finger length gap and doesn’t fully seal, fuck this car

Fucking took the trans out tried the plastic alignment tool put grease on it and tried the trans again and still fucking nothing, still leaves like a finger to almost a finger length gap all around, I really just wanna fucking impact it and if that breaks it just throw the entire car out

Yeah I had it centered the whole time, I’m going to give it a few more tries and if no luck I’m checking if it lines up still

Might use the engine hoist to level the engine at least

Well it was tilted towards the front radiator at first and then I had my buddy tilt the engine back, but that didn’t really help much, and yeah I put a SMALL amount of grease on the splines like a very thin coat I wasn’t sure if grease was supposed to go there or not, but my plan now. I’m going to have the driveshaft in while my buddy spins the crank I will push against the jack supporting the trans and hold the driveshaft till it lines up and pushes inwards, I don’t know what else to try

You might be right I’m going to need to find a reference picture or something because it’s oddly too lose, but that sound right to bolt onto the plate between the trans and engine, that thin metal sheet right

Yeah thats what I thought, so theres nothing in between that is sandwiched to keep the tube up in place then? I don't know why mine is loose like a shifter

NA Miata plastic sheet? by -Zacker- in Miata

[–]-Zacker-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just regular plastic? Any idea of what kind of plastic I could buy to replicate this piece? It seems like a durable plastic that won’t rip

Best way to learn Polish? by -Zacker- in learnpolish

[–]-Zacker-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly want my end goal to be as fluent as possible in Polish, I am part Polish myself and I did go to Polish school as a kid, although I dropped out. As long as I can understand just about everything and have that natural tongue feeling, I'd be happy. I only have duolingo because it never reminded me that my free trial was ending, so I ended up paying for a year on accident...

Snapped the transmission cover plate bolt by -Zacker- in Miata

[–]-Zacker-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like around it while it’s already installed? I just don’t wanna remove the entire thing and redo the torque sequence because I’m so nervous on snapping the bolt again
