[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 425168, member: 18629"] Thanks all. I finally got it in. I backed the transmission away to recheck the clutch with the centering tool and it was ok but I noticed the dang internal slave was not centered around the input shaft. It's held in place by a concentric cone and somehow got bumped slightly off center. Not sure how but I did reseat it. Putting it back together I found it was much easier to align the bell housing and block by comparing the flywheel ring gear with the house edge and making small adjustments to get them parallel. Once lined up I just kept muscling that thing around until it slowly seated. No final clunk or nothing. Again, their not shown but I did use two long bolts threaded through the block holes that extended into the bell housing holes for alignment and they definitely helped.
