I was getting ready to attempt to stab my transmission to the clutch this afternoon and I noticed at the bottom of my bellhousing right at the front there is a small hole. I assume this is for draina

Yup, the hole is for drainage, and the cotter pin is to keep it clear. Did you use a clutch alignment tool when you installed the clutch? If not, you'll have a devil of a time mating the trans to the

Dave, leave the cotter pin in. Your guess is correct. No trick to stabbing the engine/transmission. Sometimes you're lucky sometimes your not. I've messed with one for hours, then pulled everything b

This pin is meant to be slightly loose in its hole, and wiggle about as the engine vibrates and the car goes over bumps. It really is a BL engineering masterpiece, and I believe that it even has a p

I agree with Larry. But I'd still suggest you bring in the son. This job will go fairly smooth with some extra muscle. Without extra strong arms, the odds you'll be wrestling with it for a few hours

When you do get it successfully stabbed, and in case you are not already aware of this, two of the bellhousing/engine-plate bolt holes are a very exact fit for the bolt. Those two must go in first t

Yup, it's there. I thought it was so important that I put it as the very first item at the top of the engine information index list here: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/engine/en1.htm Click on AL-101 to g

Kudos to Ian. Now you made me go and look it up. For sure that split pin does have a factory part number (somewhere), as every little bit of anything ever built into an MG at the factory does. This p
