We are in the process of replacing the clutch. When we went to re bolt up the transmission we got all the bolts in except one of the torx bolts on the very top. Can't seem to get it started. Almost like there is something in the way of the hole. Any recommendations or advice? Thanks mike

if everytihing is aligned correctly there should be no problem unless the bolt or hole is messed up. check for apieces of junk or rust in hole.

we ended up having to take all the bolts out and get that top one caught first...it was hitting the dust cover and wouldn't go through. but we ended up getting it. thanks for the reply
