It works better if you disconnect the drive shaft at the differential and 
leave it in the tunnel.  You just slide it forward a little as you reinstall 
the engine/trans assembly.  You reach down throught the shift lever
hole and stick it into the back of the trans.

Sorry if this sounds like a lecture,
