Scott, it doesn't work this way. You have to have the engine tilted up a
bit, so that the transmission is slightly higher than the rear mount, while
you mate the bellhousing and block. Once it's slid home on the engine, spin
one of the nuts on the studs, then let it hang while you install the other
nuts and bolts. Then lower the jack and let the gearbox settle into place.
