have a 1946 ford deluxe with the engine out and ready to re-install. Going to take the tranny out. I want to make sure i get the get the spine to the crank properly aligned. My thought was to remove the drive shaft and try to slide the tranny back or remove all together. Then bolt the engine to the frame and reinstall the tranny. Any thoughts or suggestions Greatly appreciated!! tom

Pull the tranny out through the engine compartment. Get an alignment tool to make sure the splines on the clutch disc and the transmission input shaft are lined up and bolt the transmission to the engine. Drop the engine/transmission assembly down into the car and connect the rear of the transmission to the driveshaft. If the transmission doesn't require any work, you can just leave it in the car and after lining up the splines on the clutch disc with the alignment tool, you can just drop the engine into the car and bolt the engine and transmission together once they are both in the car.

Here is the clutch alignment tool that you will need to center the clutch disc within the pressure plate. If you have access to old transmission parts, you can use an old transmission input shaft instead of the alignment tool. Once you have the clutch plate centered, you can rotate either the engine crankshaft or the transmission input shaft to get the splines to engage and ease the job of fitting the engine to the transmission. https://cgfordparts.com/clutch-alignment-tool-10-spline-x-1-3-8-32-48-pass-39-48-merc-32-64-pu-tool-cl.html
