It's been soooo long since I have really dug into
the car, I completely forgot about the side bolts....
If I recall, that helped it to line up before.
Thanks for all the replies (on this and on
keeping the car.)

Subject: Tranny Mount Bolts was(Re: I'm keeping it)
I'll assume we are talking about the two long ones from the bottom. Use
a
large Phillips screwdriver from inside the car to line up the ones that
go
in from the sides first. You can usually pry the mount into place close
enough to get the inside bolts started, but don't tighten them down yet.
Take the bolts that go up from the bottom, and grind the tips to a
point,
and cut a grove perpendicular to the threads at the very beginning of
the
threads. Use the long Phillips screwdriver to pry the mount into
position
in one hole while feeding the bolt up into the mount through the second
hole. Do not tighten any of the mounting bolts until all are started.
Works for me.
