I have an 04 elantra gls. my wifes car actually and she ran it out of oil. engine toast so I got a very low mileage replacement (12k).

ok, I was able to get the engine out without removing transaxle but re-installation I have found impossible. I am doing it myself so no help. I guess i need to know if I pull the transaxle, mount it to engine and install the motor and tranny complete will there be an issue fitting it in?

I will pull the axle tomorrow with the 32mm socket just hoping i can hook them up together since I have no help with lining up tranny. thanks a bunch from a noob
