When reinstalling the gearbox....

Quick question, when reinstalling the gearbox, is it best to install all bolts around the bell housing then left the prop/tail end and do the tranny mount(s) or to get the tranny mounted (via the mounts) and then do the bolts? Or is a moot point and it doesn't matter the order? Sorry, I couldn't find anything already written about that.... maybe I am over thinking it.... TIA!

I'd do the bell bolts first as they are easier to reach in some spots with the trans on an incline. I usually
put the tail section on a floor jack so it is easy to put the mount on and allows the trans to be moved in
and out to get all the bolts in. Gives you some wiggle room.
