I have had a difficult time getting the transmission to mate with the bell housing. I can get it within the last half-inch only to be stopped cold.

I went searching around the webs to find out what else I could do besides rent a transmission jack. It just so happens that I found the answer on another truck forum. Somebody said that they buy longer bolts than stock, cut the heads off and use them as guides.

Long story short, that solved my problem. I didn't buy bolts, however, I bought threaded studs instead. Same difference but saved myself some time and effort.

Now to figure out why the clutch doesn't engage....
