Guide pins = two long bolts with the heads cut off and slots cut into them for a screwdriver to screw them into the back of the bell house to support the transmission. And yes a used shaft is better than the plastic alignment tool. Also, did you lube the pilot bushing and the front of the shaft before attempting to assemble? You could start your bolts and see if they will snug the transmission into place. Just some thoughts from my own experiences.
