Do i use the bolts to drive it in from here? They're within range. Or should the transmission fit in perfectly flat?
I've been rotating the flywheel and splines to try to get it to line up and getting little progress.

Probably a little late here. I missed this post I guess. First thing DO NOT FORCE IT WITH THE BOLTS. This car doesn’t use dowel pins that take force to press in so if everything is right the tranny should slip right on. Did you replace your clutch or just the TOB? If you did the clutch then it’s possible the disk isn’t aligned well enough. The biggest issue is the angle of the engine. With the tranny off it tips forward. You have to jack the front of the engine to get it level. If you jack too much or too little it will bind up and not slide on easily.
