Hey Bud i have serviced many manual trans clutches on import and mustangs ,and mopars i have found even with the correct alignment tool they can be stuborn to get seated the way i do it and it works 99.9% of the time if you have checked everything else as it seams you have . Have a helper rotate the engine from the front crank bolt with a ratchet while you push the trans in and wigle it up and down verticaly as you are pushing . also two home made studs installed in the bell housing to trans will help big time with this process . cj

Also you may want to check to make sure old pilot bushing isn't still on the output shaft of the tranny. Did you replace the pilot bushing ? Do you remember seeing the old one ? I have seen that a couple times. And it won't look real obvious. Tap it with a punch, if it marks, I'd say the bushing is still on the shaft. Good luck.
Good thought, but unfortunately not the case - my guess is that the hyd TOB wouldn't even slide onto the output shaft if the bearing got dislodged from the engine and stuck onto the shaft.
A slightly off alignment could still be the issue, but that plastic alignment tool sure fits in there perfectly.
just realized you have a HYD. throwout bearing , you are screwed , can't slightly disengage the clutch wit ha prybar ...
And again , just beacuse that little plastic tool fits in there does not mean it's perfectly aligned , especially if the bellhousing is a little off center .

McCloud is good enough to put a sticker to make sure you don't do that - also made sure that the sticker wasn't put on wrong. =)

Well with a little more info/facts as to what you have, and have changed out,....adding a hyd. throwout bearing, do you know what your "stack"(hyd TOB) assy height is compressed and static?, and what is required for your application,....most hyd TOB assys, unless designed for your application, usually need to be shimmed for location, so that they don't cause interference fit problems, or lack of proper disengagement,.....who's hyd set up are you using?....is it a true hyd TOB?, or are you using a slave cyl. to activate the mechanical fork?.......
