I tried something different this last time when mating the tranny. I generally have to do alone. In the past I have put tranny on my chest and wrestled it in with my feet and arms. Would have been nice to have someone to turn the driveshaft to get the spline to line up. I was younger then, so this time I supported engine at about the right angle and used a bunch of blocks (my Giant Jenga set) to bit by bit raise the front and back of the tranny to the right height and angle so that gap between bellhousing and engine was even. Then just had to slide tranny forward a couple of inches. Took an hour or so of raising a couple inches at a time. Worked for me.
