Have a question guys, putting my engine back in(or up) and it looks good with regards to the alignment of the subframe bolts etc but the top trans mount (3 bolts) seem to be alittle "off". If I force it a little, it seems like the bolts ontop of the tranny will go through the holes but I'm worried about the alignment of it all when it's done and all the bolts are tightened etc.
Is there an way to "make sure" that everything is aligned properly? I keep imagining that when I try to drive the car, all I'm going to hear is grinding and things breaking from it not being straight or something. I maybe being silly here as I have no idea as this is the first time I have EVER removed and replaced an engine/trans.

I know it was a HUGE task I took on but I didn't have a choice as the money was just WAY to much to have a shop do it. I think I have done good so far, just last minute jitters I guess.

If there is any help you guys or anyone else can give me, any pointers on making sure everything is straight etc I would really appreciate it.

p.s. I did take lots of pitures before/during and after I dropped the subframe which I keep comparing against and it all looks good from what I can see.
