trans input shaft will not slide onto clutch

Trying to mate the engine with the trans in place. Good luck with that. Figured this was a normal deal, engine in lifting trans into place. The all thread may help and a jack under the trans to hammer it against the floor pan for angle. Doing it by dropping the engine in is asking to flex the **** out of that disc. Better have one of those hand crank levelers on the hoist to adjust the engine angle.

If that does get it installed with trans in place, buy a lottery ticket, it's your lucky week!

I hold transmissions in place with a ratchet strap underneath going across to each torsion bar, works great.
