Is there something I'm missing because whenever I had to try putting the tranny back into place, there is the one stiffiner that keeps jamming against the subframe when I do it. I basically tilt the engine down until the crank pulley is against the fender well and still have a bitch of a time with that stiffener. If its the same issue, I've found the engine likes to roll/tilt back when the tranny is off & the front of the car jacked. On a 2g, this leaves not enough room between the tranny & the subframe. What I now do is wedge a block of wood between the engine & the subframe, this prevents the engine from rolling & spaces it abit further from the subframe. With this done, I put the tranny on a floor jack & jack it straight up & slide it into place. Its an easy one person job with this method.

I used a jack on the oil pan to control the tilt of the engine, I thought it was slightly easier with the engine tilted down a bit, it's easier with the engine level? I think that's what the previous owner of my car did or something. I have a dent in my oil pan. Hope it doesn't cause problems.

You're supposed to use a block of wood to prevent poking through with the jack. Even then, the motor doesn't weigh that much, you'd probably need to start lifting the car with it to push it in.
It's more likely they bottomed out on the road..

On the bright side, you are definitely not alone. Mine is dented and I'm sure it would be difficult to find a nice clean straight oil pan except from the dealer or jobber, or of course the Zig man Oh so no adverse effects?

As long as it's not bent too much, but if it was bent too much you would have known already cause your engine would have been oiled starved and overheated and potentially seeze.

A rarity I've never seen in a DSM. Rolling to Toronto and back today in a 91 AWD Automatic with a soon-to-be member, and a local to me, I notice this: Sorry for the cell phone pic, but has anyone ever seen this before? I had a 91 FWD Auto and didn't have this in my car. Oh, by the way, this car is uber clean, and stock right to the airbox.
