Install the engine plate... touque the flywheel... lube the pilot bearing... properly align the clutch... replace the slave cylinder/throw out bearing.
It's always about the angle of the dangle. A way to tilt the engine and a jack under the transmission will get you there.

Luckily got a brand new tranny,clutch, slave and pilot. Would you recommend removing the tranny to pull the engine?
