What could have gone wrong with the mounting? The two motor mounts and two tranny mounts are attached. What are some of the typical ways of screwing this up? Maybe I twisted something or misaligned something?

I defintely had a little trouble getting the engine and tranny mounts lined up. It seemed either the engine mounts would line up or the tranny mounts...not both at once. So I basically lined up the engine and attached the mounting bolts. Then I just manhandled the tranny until the bolts lined up. It didn't require a great deal of effort to finally get it together. With engine and tranny bolted together, should the mouting bolts line up easily or does it normally require a bit (not a lot) of adjusting?

And if it is any help, I went out to do some more testing and found that fifth gear engages with no problems. Fourth is still unavailable and second still needs lots of TLC. Oddly, I often find that first gear engages poorly - as though first gear was very tall or I had accidentally started in third (which I checked and is not the case). Maybe this chattering is the clutch? Perhaps it is not fully engaging and slipping? The car seems to have very little power in any gear. I did a search on clutch chatter but could not tell if it is something which happens all the time or only of the clutch is engaged in certain gears.

I am at a loss. Heck, at this point, I'll even try popping a different tape in the tape deck to see if that helps.

Thanks,
