Hi all.
I think I'm losing the plot and could do with some assistance. I've just put the engine back in my collie after rebuilding it. Took hours yesterday trying to get the gearbox in but wondering if I have put the clutch plate in the wrong way round. My plan was to get engine and gearbox connected, pop it in gear to tighten the crank pulley bolt but the crank is just spinning freely even though the gearbox is in 1st. Could I have put the plate in the wrong way round or was my plan to tighten the pulley bolt wrong? What am I missing?
