The method I used in the last 2 installs of the driveshaft was this...
1) Have the shift lever cover off so you can see the end of the tranny.
2) Bend a really stiff wire into a loop and insert down by the end of the
tranny from inside the car.
3) With the car on jackstands, insert the driveshaft without paper or tape.
4) Have a helper pick up the yoke with the wire loop. The helper then
directs the shaft into the tranny and can tell you which direction to move
the front of the shaft.
5) Once the shaft is on, just remove the wire and connect the shaft to the
axle.
6) Re install the shift/tranny cover.
This method took 5 minutes to connect the driveshaft to the tranny and
there's no paper or tape flying around and no hole to cut.
