Make sure that you've used a clutch plate centering tool. Leave trans in second gear, use a drive shaft to turn the trans as you're stabbing it and should snap right together. I learned this over the course of two weeks being stupid and cocky, forgot about the input shaft spline that had to fit the plate. Doh!
