I had a similar experience mating the tranny to my Spridget
engine. I rotated the input shaft on the transmission slightly,
and that let the splines line up with the pressure plate --
voila! It sounds pretty simple but it took me a while to figure
it out. I thought I had something wrong with the pilot bushing,
but then I always seem to make things more complicated than they
should be. If you've already done this, you're on your own!
