The real challenge was getting the transaxle bolted back to the engine block. The input shaft has to slide thru the pressure plate opening and into the splined friction plate. The angle has to be perfect. Fitment is complicated by limited clearance laterally and to the rear. After many hours of struggling I came to the conclusion that you have to tilt the engine near on end to get the necessary clearance. I then aligned all the holes using several jacks/floor stands. I pushed and pulled and it finally popped into place. As sad as it might be, that moment was as pleasing as any.....well use your imagination.
