Can't get Tranny on?

Ok...here's my question I wiggled the Tranny into the Bell housing...but I got like a half inch gap. Just enough to screw the Clutch fork back in, but the Tranny wont go any further. I can't seem to get it in all the way. I mounted the Tranny to Bell housing bolts and began turning some of them. The Gap slowly started to Decrease....before I continue with this..is that the proper way to get this back on right?

It doesn't sound like you have the clutch/flywheel properly aligned and the input shaft is having trouble sliding in. Make sure you have used an alignment tool and that it can slide in/out easily.

Well it is not the proper way of doing it. But i myself had to do it that way. I took everything off and put it back on 4 times. Everytime it would get about 1/4 inch away from the bellhousing. Just try to take it off 1 more time just to make sure everything is lined up really good. If everything is good and it still doesn't go all the way just make sure you turn all the bolts equally. With little turns. Good luck.
