getting the engine in.

So first off I lubed up the plastic tab and the metal rod the throwout bearing goes on, be gentle on the lube making sure none gets on the clutch/flywheel.

I removed this guide dowel, its to big, common when installing different transmissions into cars, this tranny from a Audi 2000 S4.

Line everything up, the transmission should just slide into the pilot bearing.. do "NOT" force anything, you will break your car.

Bolt it all together, then hoist it up onto the engine hoist, you will need an engine balancer as well.

Now the engine is in the car with the transmission, in retrospect it would have been easier to put the transmission into the car first then the transmission onto that, however its all together now.
This is the stock engine block with an upgrade to a 20 valve head gotten from a 1990 coupe quattro, stock was 10 valve, the Long block was built to withstand over 1000 horsepower by 034.
