lift the tranny in the rear to give space. that helps. you have to release the front support

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

I just loosened the bolts of the whole crossmember and jacked up the tranny to give it room to move in. Then the trick is to play with it to get it in.

yup, you just have to rotate the motor a little to gain a little clearance to slide into place.
