<div dir="auto">I take a cruder approach, but it has been fairly effective, get the thing started and propped up. Assuming your seats are removed sit on the prop shaft tunnel, push the front lip of the transmission forward with your feet while manipulating the end of the transmission and turning the tail shaft with your hand. A little fettling and with any luck you will quickly find the sweet spot and it will slide right in and you get that satisfying clunk when it hits home.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> </div><div dir="auto">Greg Lemon</div><div dir="auto">TR250</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Nov 12, 2021, 1:28 PM David Friedlander <<a href="mailto:forzion7@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">forzion7@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000099"><i><b>"<span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">Once the engine/turns are paralleled they will slide together with no issues."</span></b></i></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000099"><i><span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></span></i></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="comic sans ms, sans-serif" size="4" color="#0000ff">So, I have heard, Ed.

I have had this issue several times. Tha input shift is not entering the pilot bearing. The alignment has to be almost perfect.</div>

Use a couple of extra long bolts with the heads cut off. Once the tranny is close walk around to the rear of the engine compartment and look down the firewall to see how well the Trans flange and the engine plate are aligned.</div>

I usually use a jack and a piece of wood under the oil pan to lift the rear of the engine up and place a long rod or similar under the rear of the Trans. Once the engine/turns are paralleled they will slide together with no issues.</div>
