Yup.  Doesn't get that far together.

I had aligned the splines in the rear of the OD with my mainshaft before assembling the gearbox, but even then they didn't want to merge and, of course, after several tries the splines became misaligned (and I don't have a much-desired spare mainshaft).  I've done my best to get the splines aligned by prodding with a screwdriver but, even with them visibly aligned the two won't slip together. I tried dozens of test fittings, and got them to join one time, but didn't have the pump can or gasket installed, so that was for naught.  Any suggestions?
