One thing I realized that might be an issue was a modification I did to the
Throw-out bearing. Before reinstalling the tranny, I examine the T-O
bearing and realized it was missing a part seen on a previous unit. A small
pin was missing that prevented the bearing from rotating on the clutch fork
itself. To remedy, I drill a small hole and inserted a split pin. Maybe
this was a mistake and that pin omission wasn't a cost reduction but
performance improvement. Could this have caused a problem or do most good
T-O bearings have this pin in place.

John,
I did the same thing as you with the bolts. It worked great and guided the
tranny right in. You can see how here

The first time I installed my transmission, I allowed the weight of the
transmission to hang briefly on the input shaft as I aligned things. Big
mistake. I caused the friction plate to get slightly bent and caused the
clutch to not disengage. After that I used long(6") studs in the upper 3
holes across the top of the rear engine plate to hang the transmission on
while getting everything to slide together.
Not sure that's your problem, but it's something to think about. John
