In one of Carroll Smith's "<...> to Win" books he tells a story of a 
late night before the morning race where he and another guy put a 
transmission back in a car.  They get it all in place, ready to wrestle 
with it to get it to mate with the engine, and wham!  It slides right 
in, first time, perfectly.  They look at each other and both come to the 
conclusion they forgot to put the spigot bushing in.  They've done this 
before, transmissions don't just slide into place in seconds.

So, they remove the transmission, take a look and the spigot bush is, 
indeed, right where it should be, not left on the bench.  So they go to 
put the gearbox back into place, and as you might have guessed, it takes 
hours to get it lined up and in place again.
