Alright, I finally have the engine together, its time to install the transmission. Both are out of the car right now, I figured this would be an easy step to get the engine into the engine bay. Well I thought wrong. For some odd reason I can not get the transmission to line up with the engine at all. I have tried everything I know and I still can not get it to line up. What am I doing wrong. Also there are two inserts on the engine that go into the transmission, they appear to be able to screw in a bolt however the one on the intake manifold side just under the starter does not have any threads in the transmission. What kind of bolt or stud do I need, or does the insert just go in there. This is my first engine rebuild so I am lacking the knowledge to do this part. If any of you DSM wisemen want to help, I would greatly appreciate it. I just want to get the car running thank you for all you responses Jeff
