My biggest issue with reinstalling the engine with the transmission in place has been getting the clutch release fingers properly engaged in their channel in the TOB. It is really easy with the engine and transmission on the garage floor - you can see what is happening, especially if you leave the starter off. With the tranny in the car, a borescope helps - much better than using flash lights and mirrors. If you do it enough, you can develop the touch. Otherwise, patience.
