Just finished installing the motor and we are trying to get the input shaft back in and can't get it to go. It engages about 3/4" of splines and stops. Used the clutch alignment too when installing clutch and am not sure where to go from here.

I push in the clutch pedal and hold it down with a golf club, gives more wiggle room, shaft will slide right in.

Tried the clutch trick and it didn't work. I'm gonna cut off the input shaft on a spare torque tube I have laying around and play with that and see if I can get it to work. How do you make sure the input shaft is going straight in. I have a jack under the rear of the motor to keep it level and there were two of us fooling with the ttube angle. The shaft would go in so about 3/4" of the splines would engage and the it would bind and be a PITA to pull back out.
