need help! motor not goin in..

hi, for 2 damn days now, ive been trying to match up the motor mounts to the chassis. the pasenger side is in, the tranny is bolted on to the motor, but the driver side mount, wont match with the bottom hole. it needs to be pushed back about another cm but i cant get it to budge, i was wondering if im doin it wrong, or what? please i need help, i got to return the lift at 2 today.

Try loosening the top nut on the motor mount in order to get some sway in it. I did that and it seated itself in.

Try loosening your transmission mounts and try to push it back.

Yeah, I've had to do that too. It should work for you.
