Motor back in and the carbs fired up yesterday. Set the timing and it sounds healthy and snappy. Really pleased. So adjust the clutch cable, and try to put in first gear. Won't go in! Apply a litle bit of pressure, and it squeals! Still not going in. Does this in every gear. Shut down the motor, and i can put it in all gears. So roll it back and forth, clutch in and out, yup, its engaging. Fire it up, still a no-go. When bolting in the tranny, the last 3-4mm of the engine mating to the tranny was tight.

The tranny worked well with the 2L. The engine is stock flywheel, chromo Scat glandnut with new disk and pressure plate. The pressure plate looked odd with like 8 fat fingers. My Kep stage 1 has like 15 or so small fingers. Could the PP be the problem?

I'm gonna drop it AGAIN and try mate the engine to Sandeep's old type1 trans and see why it's tight coming together. Gonna bolt up the stage1 from the 2L.

You guys have any ideas?
