The problem I have now is that the transmission and the engine are sitting about an 3/4 of an inch apart. I can get a bolt started at the bottom but not at the top. I don't want to bend the input shaft of the transmission.
Any advice to get them closer. Should I take off the transmission and try and slide it forward? The engine is bolted in place and all connected including, fuel lines, radiator, intake wiring harness all except starter motor.
Thanks,

Is this a manual tranny car?
