I'm finally installing my 3.0L engine and automatic transmission back in my car. I got it mostly into position, but i'm having some trouble getting the mounts aligned. Mostly, it seems that the engine/trans isn't moving far enough in.
My 3.0L has the 2.8L lower crankcase, and the transmission is snugged up tight to the engine. This means it SHOULD be identically (spacing-wise) to what I took out of the car all those months ago. The right side of the transmission is up against the transmission mount, so I'm pretty sure i have that right. However, the right hand engine mount seems to e too far forward for the engine to reach. I'm mostly wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or I misunderstand how the transmission mounts meet the transmission.
Here are some pictures. This shows the passenger side transmission mount and the transmission itself mostly aligned (just need to push it to the right a bit). The transmission sits behind (meaning, towards the back of the car) the mount, right?

Here's where the engine sits relative to the engine mount:

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
