is the bellhousing flush with the engine? ie when you put the gearbox back on did it bolt up properly?
After replacing the engine in my MX22, im having problems connecting up the drive train.
It is a two-piece driveshaft, but for whatever reason it doesnt want to fit anymore,
The center bearing is about 3cm off the mounting bolts, so to the gearbox does not sit flush on the crossmemeber and its bolt holes dont match up they are about 1cm off. Any ideas of what could be causing this? The engine mounts match up with each other, there is no overlap or anything.
i feel much better now that ive given up hope

Engine mounts weren't upside down, or back the front or anything?
Not sure if it's possible on your car but I have heard of it before on others.
How does the gearbox crossmember line up to the bolts on the chasis?
I am the sun
hahah nar they weren't upside down, its not possible. The gearbox crossmember lines up the bolts on the chasis but the bolts that connect the gearbox to the crossmemeber are about 1cm off, its got me beat what on earth could be wrong.
i feel much better now that ive given up hope
Can the crossmember be switched around, left to right or the drive/propeller shaft, front to back??
Otherwise contact Ripley's Believe It or Not.
Are you using the orignial engine mounts?
Does the centre bearing length not reference off the diff end and the gearbox end have a slip joint?
regards

Yes i used the original mounts the drive/propeller shaft can be switched back.
The center bearing length does not reference off the diff end and the gearbox does have a slip joint
