Hmmm..Trans Mount Bolts wont go in??
Me and Bob put in my rebuild today and we just cant get the transmission mount bolts mount in?? Any tips??? Seems like we tried just about every combination of raising/lowering to align the holes, but they are not aligning well? We're stumped.
I have a 90 MTX with new Mazda Trans mount and new Y-rubber isolators.

first make sure that you didn't screw up the threads in the frame
Then grab your floor jack and jack the trans up(at the body),and loosen the crossmember enough so that it will wiggle.That allows you to align the holes.
The trans will go up just a BIT further and you can get the bolts and crossmember situated,tighten a touch and then lower the jack.
Tighten down all bolts.(especially the ones you loosened up!)
