I feel newbish asking this but I been fighting to get my trans back in my 1g for a while now. I pulled it out to change the clutch and had no issues getting it out but I can't get it back in. My first attempt it would constantly get hung up on the subframe, control arm, or front support beam (the one front motor mount attaches to). I took off a sheet metal bracket on the rear subframe and dropped that front support and not I have the bell housing over the clutch but the diff keep a hitting the rear subframe and won't roll down and line up. So what am I doing wrong , do I need to remove the rear mount to get the engine to slide more forward? Car has poly mount so not a lot of play in them. This is my first time doing this with the motor in the car
