My one man method which has always worked pretty good is to align and 
support everything eyeballed to be as straight as possible, then put on a 
pair of old jeans or overalls, sit on the tunnel behind the tranny and push 
forward with your feet on the lip of the bell housing on both sides while 
gently wiggling the tail shaft with your hands, works like a charm, but 
still sometimes they go home very quickly, and sometimes the seem to be a 
little, or a lot more stubborn.  That happy moment where it lines up and 
slides on the last inch or whatever is one of the more satisfying feelings 
in wrenching.
