The functional passenger side transmission easily slid off it's mounting studs and they measured level- unlike the studs on the driver side. I slid a deep 8mm socket over the driver side studs and used a 2x4 and mini sledge to hammer them until level. Measure, hit, measure so that I didn't over do it. In the end it was hard to align the 3 mounting points within a 3D space and it went back together much easier than it came apart, but the mounting studs were still not just right and the movement remained off.

I made the decision to call it quits and convert to manual ops. The cost-benefit on continuing to allocate time toward aligning he clamshell arms just wasn't adding up and the simplicity of manual operations will hopefully ensure reliability on long road trips far from my tools/spare parts. I still need to twist the clamshell back and hopefully will be good to go.
