91 RS Legacy Gearbox Q

[hein_]

In process of replacing gearbox in 91 RS Legacy (EJ20 Turbo).

Having a bit of a problem getting gearbox in - SEEMS like right hand
top of bell-housing hits the turbo exhaust housing (but only ever so
slightly) and thus stops it from sliding in.

There are two bolts below the flywheel which the gearbox is supposed to
slide into - but something is definately stopping it..

Anyone done this before? Any ideas or tips on best approach?

Thanks

Haven't done that job myself but do a search back in the previous posts.
There are lots of warnings about forcing it.
