I'm currently undergoing the Z32-Q45 swap and I'm using the q45 transmission they have two seperate shafts on the transmission I was wondering how do I get both of them lined up to install into the torque converter I have the engine in already and I will have the car on jack stands and the old school ramps to give me the needed height to be kinda comfortable. can anyone give me some insight on how to tackle this. thanks in advance

It should go on pretty easily. Once you slide it on the shaft(s) it may stop, spin it until it goes on all the way easily. Best to do this out of the car and then bolt it to the flexplate after the trans is in the car and bolted up to the engine. Get a bolt started in the flexplate, spin the engine, another bolt, spin engine, etc.
