John,
I did the same thing as you with the bolts. It worked great and guided the
tranny right in. You can see how here

Subject: Re: [6pack] Clutch/Transmission issue
The first time I installed my transmission, I allowed the weight of the
transmission to hang briefly on the input shaft as I aligned things. Big
mistake. I caused the friction plate to get slightly bent and caused the
clutch to not disengage. After that I used long(6") studs in the upper 3
holes across the top of the rear engine plate to hang the transmission on
while getting everything to slide together.
Not sure that's your problem, but it's something to think about. John
