5 hours later.. I HATE THIS CAR!1111

Tranny is still on the floor. My nice new shiney red pp scratched Subframe paint job mangled. The tranny WILL NOT fit back between the PP and subframe. I managed once.. I was 1 inch away from getting tranny on, board on jack split and tranny slipped off >.< (not onto the floor).

I am contemplating an engine hoist purchase. Fk this. But I don;t think it will help. No matter if I slide engine forward or leave it hanging back, the subframe does not allow tranny to slide in nicely. I have pictures. I am too sore, angry and tired to post.

It's almost as if you have to rotate the tranny 90 degrees to get the bellhousing over the pressure plate, then rotate into position.
