I just fought that coupler last week. It refused to go on until I loosened the bolts joining the transaxle to the TT. Then it slid right on.

Hoping that does it for me too. Need to get this damn car back out on track! I did install a solid trans mount so there is less flexibility there. Doc's rope idea is intriguing as that seems to be my issue - I think it might be too high.

Life has just been way too busy this spring and not enough time to focus on the car. Hoping to change that... thanks for the thoughts gents, will be tackling this tomorrow.

The TT doesn't like you either, lol.

I've never had a problem with either the TT to engine or lining up the coupler. Grease is key and taking the time to line things up before attempting to 'jam it on'. It also helps to rotate the TT to slide the engine on. And I sure hope you used a clutch alignment tool.
