Just because you use the tool doesn't mean its lined perfectly.. Ive fought a few transmissions and doing this have yet to fight another one to get in the hole..
I didn't have a alignment tool, I was using a socket wrapped in electrical tape. That could've been part of the problem, but I know I didn't have the trans lined up very well with the engine at first. It went right in once I got it straight.
