OMG, another 6MT conversion thread.

Ok, good.

How do you currently have it attached now without the transmission in place? I keep a bolt that matches the thread in lower starter hole of the block (M14 x 1 I think) to get the bottom completely centered and try to eyeball the top based on where I think it's centered as it pivots on the lower hole.

I'm doing exactly that. For the bottom bolt, I'm using a long wheel-lug bolt with a cone shoulder - which ensures a centered fit and does not protrude. For the top, I eyeballed-it as as I could with an eye-line through the ring-gear to the pinion teeth - and that got me the result you see above.

Then with that lower bolt tightened, I actually run the starter using a makeshift harness to crank over the engine to check engagement.

I can't do that with my cams out. So, I'm just going to go with how things are based on nothing looking our of order.

Thanks Steve.
