5 speed (D16) replacement help needed. cant get back in.

[americasfuture2k]

replacing the trans because of the cheap metal casing. got broken one out. can not get new one in. the input shaft keeps getting caught up on the pressure plate and the differential side where the cv shafts go keeps getting caught on the A-arm/crossmember setup. what is the magic trick to get this thing back in?

did you drop the kframe? or just one side? it seems like you cant line it up close enough with the room you have.. need to make more room somehow.

kframe? what is that? koreanframe? i did it the way the alldatadiy calls for. and im sure that is the same way the fsm calls for since alldata pages are pretty much scans from the the fsm. it is on my other car anyways and how its been on my past cars.
