It's always a good idea to slip the new disc over the trans input shaft beforehand, to be sure of fit. Too late for that, but you would not be the first to have alignment trouble, even after using tool to line up beforehand. I would try to use a prybar to depress fork to release the clutch, while wiggling the trans and inserting it further, while keeping it as parallel as possible to crank centerline. Also rotate tailshaft or trans itself, back and forth to help align teeth to clutch. If you're sure it gets into disc, then you have to be certain of proper engagement to pilot bearing too. Fun, ain't it?
