S13 Tranny Crossmember Help!
 

Hey guys, so I just installed nismo engine and transmission mounts on my s13 with a ka24de and I was trying the get the transmission crossmember in and the bolts just weren't lining up. I used a pry bar and a buddy to help pry it into the right position and I could get 1 bolt in on the driver side and 2 bolts in on the passenger side leaving one bolt missing. I thought my crossmember was just warped so I bought one I knew was straight and sure enough, same story. I can't get all of it to line up and I can't jack the transmission any higher into the transmission tunnel so the tranny mount is somewhat in my way, I have no idea how to get that out of my way if it is. Really my only thought right now is that since I only jacked up the front of my car, my engine might be sliding back a bit putting the mount off center? Any thoughts on that? Anyway I could use any advice you guys have, this is my daily. Thanks!

Did you leave the transmission mount to crossmember bolts loose? Did you leave the engine mounts loose?

Engine mounts aren't loose, would that help?

Update: Now 2 of the 4 holes are crossthreaded, one of the crossthreaded holes still threaded a bolt, well it threaded it kind of crooked but it still held. The other one however will not take a bolt. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Am I screwed?
