[T2] Getting the Engine and Transaxle Together: What's the Trick?

[John Rogers]

Hi Roger,

What I find helpful once everything is lined up properly, which means the
bell housing and engine surfaces are parallel top to bottom as well as the
bottom engine bolts and tranny spline line up, is wiggling the engine left
and right as it is pushed forward rather than just pushing straight ahead.

Cheers,

John
