the clutch disc and pp are bolted to the flywheel--seems like there is a lot of pressure. the hydro system was fine(brand new everything). with the trans down the fork has play when no pressure from the slave is applied. doesnt seem like i changed anything, but im going to put the trans back up after work. i need vosko's help, cause the owner weighs less than the trans! i'll let you know how it goes...

tie a rope to your e-brake handle and put the rope down the hole where the shift rod is, lift the rear of the tranny up as far as you can and tie it down, then all you have to lift is the front of the tranny up and slide it on in,use some grease too but dont get any on the clutch set!, hope this helps ya a lil bit? piece
use a jack to lift the front of the tranny if its still to heavy, later

carluch240 came up with a great idea today after put the tranny up again "why don't we take off the clutch slave and spin the flywheel and see if it moves....."
we did that guess what it moves. apparently mazda sent the wrong clutch slave!!!!!!
we were going crazy and finally carluch figured out a 10 second way to test it......
the 89 TII with the clutch job from hell will be fixed soon.
the old clutch slave was bad anyway. it was rusting internally and falling apart....
woohooo. soo happy!!!!
