Re: Stuck at the finish line - pre-alpha drive install
if you got the length right when you installed it, it'll be straight forward.
Little epilogue here.
Tonight I summoned up my courage and took some aspirin, then tried again to mount the drive. I re-checked the alignment (good) cleaned off the input shaft splines, applied some fresh all-purpose grease and oiled the O-rings on the shaft.
After all that it went in on the second try, pushing with my shoulder behind the upper half of the unit.
So now on to my next problem... adjusting the new lower shift cable.
