So with everything underneath the car back in place, I find that the holes are off, and now the trans must come out again.

I used the SVX TQ even though my high clutch went out and it could be contaminated. The swap one was rusty (just surface), but mainly the SVX one still worked so no reason to change it out I figured.
Too bad to hear about the flexplate not lining up.
