Sounds like you might have gained camber in the RF. Camber changes toe
settings. (Which is why you set the camber first, then the toe.) The
camber changed probably from the camber bolts being loose enough to move.
That sucks. The only resolve now is to have the alignment set. (do it
yourself or take it to a shop.)

The tranny mount work has nothing to do with the alignment. You could put
the engine/tranny in backwards and the alignment wouldn't be effected. Id
suspect the car sitting on the right side for a couple days is the
probable cause.
