Been there dude, more than once. And I don't have any "friends" dumb enough to offer help. It can be done solo, it's not that hard. If you used an alignment tool on the clutch and some grease on the trany's input shaft and bearing retainer and some in the pilot, it shouldn't be too difficult. You have to get down under the rig and make sure that the angle of the trans and the motor are as close to the same as possible. Use a jack on the tranny to manipulate the angle. Once you get close you can start to thread in the four bolts that hold the trans to the bellhousing. Don't go nuts, or you can damage stuff, but this will keep you from losing ground and will eventually get you lined up.
