Damn I'm glad its behind me!

Glad to hear it. JFP is right about exact alignment, it's just tough to tell how exact it is while you're on your back sweating and cussing.

I used a prybar through the gap between engine and trans to adjust the flywheel position by pushing on the teeth. I think you might be able to attach a wheel and axle and turn the wheel a little to adjust the angular position of the input splines until it slides on.

Does having the transmission in neutral matter? I'd assume so.
