Lift the front of the motor, leave the motor mounts hooked up and it'll tilt back towards the firewall, it'll pop right in.

If you get it within a 1/4 inch or so, and it's even all the way around, you can use the bolts to draw it together.

did u have the clutch off.... maybe u didnt align it well enough.......

scotto11

no i didnt have the clutch off, i just took a look to see whats inside since its a new car.

have someone hang off the down pipe to tilt the motor back, while u lift the tranny in to position.(u can also use a long crowbar in the end for more leverage) once u get the imput shaft into the clutch hole u have to get a little cowboy with it.
the motor drops forward and rests on the front of the subframe when u disconnect the ppf do to the motor mounts being mounted to the back side of the engine only
