I sat the engine on the floor and tried to get the trans in. suck. No go. Yes the discs go onto the shaft just fine when the assembly is not bolted together. I checked again. I think the trans has to be held up front and rear so it doesn't bind on the splines.
Note that it took me about 2.5 hours to pull the motor... tops. And that was with breaks. Clutch is at like 60 hours now. Sigh.

Those vent hoses actually don't need to be protected from heat. The issue is that they are very stiff and saw through things rapidly. I agree that the silver sheath looks like crap. Maybe I will heat shrink them?

Sean figured it out.
There was something in the way, even with the motor out of the car.
A Pretty Pony goes to whoever guesses what was keeping the trans from going in.
