If you don't have a helper I have had good luck wrestling transmissions in 
by supporting them from underneath, getting the engine and tranny on the 
same vertical plane with jacks/supports, then, with the seats removed, 
straddle the driveshaft tunnel and gently move the tailshaft with your hands 
and push on the lip of either side of the tunnel with your feet.

Two good feelings when putting in a tranny, the first "got it started", then 
the next got it all lined up right and you get that satisfying extra inch of 
travel or so.
