I would not loosen the motor mounts and I don't know if I would want to try bringing the trans back and then re-tightening it to the bell housing. Might work and I could be wrong. I would continue trying to get it in place by moving the whole unit by either jacking up the rear or as was mentioned jumping on it. The back axle pivots on the spring unlike an open drive where it is fixed. Pivoting allows the torque tube to move backwards and forwards.
