This is probably the culprit, but you also want to make sure that the trans and engine are in a straight line while you're pushing it toward the engine or it will NEVER engage. My guess would be that you will have to loosen the PP and align the clutch disc again with an alignment tool. When it is right the tool should take zero pressure to insert and remove.

yea I had the same problem, I ended up shaking and taking up the slack alittle at a time till it was tight. DONT FORCE IT IN JUST TAKE UP THE SLACK IN THE BOLTS EVENLY.

I wouldnt use the bolts to force it in, sounds like a bad idea. I had that problem, first time because the pp was incorrect. Also make sure the clutch fork is not in the way of anything. All else re-allign clutch using the tool. Usually it takes some wiggling once it gets up there and some pushing from the rear of the trans, while someone support the front from sagging.
