Couldn't stab it in today. Been on it since noon till now no matter how hard I shook it the thing would not line up with the torque converter. It was so bad I thought there might be a difference if the engine was out of a standard, maybe the spacer was special. So I took it out again, both spacers I had were .750 so it should have went in. I twisted the trans, lifted it up and down, shook it.

Owning a Ranger forum I'm supposed to be able to do these things!

A question... I have several different lengths of trans bolts. I know the 2 shorties with the locator stubs go on top, the 2 longest probably go to the aluminum pan on the bottom... does anyone know which ones go where? If I could get one in it might become obvious but till then...

And does any of you gurus have any tricks like perhaps unbolting the plates from the engine or anything I'm missing? It's not like I've never dropped an engine in I just can't get this one to line up and I'm sure it was close.

The bolts:
