Have you had the clutch off if so did you use a aligning tool for the friction plate

The angle of engine to van may be out (if the van is on axle stands and the engine is flat on a jack). I struggled with this when putting my engine back in.

i did use a tool to get the clutch centerd but it was home made? could this be the problem??

Have you changed the output shaft on the gearbox ?
to mate a type 4 motor to a 1600 box the output shaft has to be shortened 20mm (approx)

If the clutch is a tiny bit out its a nightmare

Have you took the flywheel locking tool off? I've left it on before

:lol:

Spin the top pulley a little to see if the alignment is a touch off
