[ausev] EV motor installation

[Roy Holder]

The trans is still in the car.  I have been playing with the jacks to
allign the motor and trans.  

I did align the clutch plate with the pilot bushing on the flywheel, but
there has been so much movement they may not be anymore. I probably need to
drop it out and reallign the flywheel.  

I also thought of putting painters tape over the flywheel to see where the
tansmission shaft punches through, so see where I need to adjust the
approach allignment.

I would appreciate any help.  Im tired of buying gas for my truck again.
