It's a bad idea to use bolts to pull the trans into place, you are lucky you didn't break something.
John,
I'll have to try your method in the future. I was trying to think of a way to use the fork with out the clutch pedal being set up to help with the ease of installation.
I think I'll be ok, as the trans moved forward smoothly and didn't fight me at all.
