I had similar problems. I found that a second person with a small lever or crowbar at the rear of the transmission to provide the forward force while wiggling worked well. I used a shop towel to protect metal surfaces.

when the car is hot it's hard to go on 1st gear
Installed a ACT 3 days ago, my issue is when the car is hot it's hard to go on 1st gear and really very hard to get in reverse. Everything normal when cold. Can go on all gears with car off. I'm thinking I really need to mess around more with the clutch pedal. Any input guys? I also bleed the SC many times already.

I have an ACT also. It took about 500 miles before it stopped dragging and making it difficult to engage all lower gears. Adjusting the pedal helped a bit, but not much. After the first 500 things are fine apart from the chatter from the light flywheel.

This may be a dumb question, but is it necessary to remove the shifter? I removed all the screws and plastic prices getting it ready for tomorrow and am just wondering if I really need to take out the pin and bar that holds the shifter in place. I can't just bring it down like that?

I am just now finishing up my clutch swap, and if I were to do it again, I wouldn't touch the shifter from inside, I'd just remove the pin from under the car after I removed the driveshaft. With the pin being under the level of the sheet metal, there seems to be better access from under anyway. If it weren't for the driveshaft being removed already, maybe I'd consider it worth the time to remove the shifter from above. |

Am I doing something wrong? Am I suppose to move the flywheel until the transmission's nose fits into the clutch disc? Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk |

That or wiggle the trans until the spline shaft slides it smooth. If it's not sliding in smoothly then the splines on the clutch disc and shaft are not aligned. I have a transmission jack adaptor for a floor jack you can use if you like. The brz trans is lite enough to get under it and shimmy it in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You may need to play with both the Angel of the motor and trans to mate the 2. Pay close attention to the guide pins. They will tell you when you're straight and true.then all you need to do is turn the fly wheel a bit to align the teeth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Correct. Other wise you risk damaging the clutch disc. Just wiggling the trans should get the teeth to align. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It might take awhile of jiggling and screwing around, but it will eventually go in. Mine took maybe 3 minutes of screwing around, not including breaks. |
