The splines are probably just not exactly lined up. =C2=A0I always have to =
slightly use the bolts to pull the two together when I put a new clutch in.=
 =C2=A0Also the two pieces may not exactly be in the same plane. =C2=A0Look=
 at the gap all around to see if it is the same distance.

 David,

They should go together fairly easily.=C2=A0 If you're against a hard stop =
something is amiss.=C2=A0 I wouldn't force it.=C2=A0 Pull the trans back of=

ID should be the same on all of them.
