I'm not sure if you did just the TOB or also the clutch but when you do the clutch it's very important that you put a lot of effort into aligning the disk perfectly otherwise it will be nearly impossible to put the tranny back on.

Edit: I typed this message hours ago but didn't post it until now but I see Tcoat beat me to it.
Well at least any future reader will get the idea of how important it is to support the engine!
