Its annoying as hell trying to describe something simple to someone and you only get the blank stare... Well, don't feel bad... I dropped a engine in a 90 Xj the other day and as I was installing the front engine mount bolts I realized something didn't look right. I had forgotten to put the plate in behind the flywheel. Yeah, I wasn't so happy to have to pull it out again but i had to.

well the plate come in yesterday and i finally got the trans in today...5spd swap complete. so much better then the crappy a4ld. has a 3.76:1 first gear first 2.72:1. thing actually has some balls now, and i have no problem pulling hills at 70 now. looks like i might be able to turn some 35's with some 4.56's...now i gotta save up for some tires
