OK, so I should have just pulled the trans with the motor and avoided this problem but I was being lazy. Now I am trying to reinstall the motor and I can get it to seat against the bell housing. There is about 3/4 of an inch gap and I just cannot get it to go back anymore. I know it is a bad idea to try and pull it together with the bolts so I was wondering if anyone had any advice. TIA.
