The clutch fork and TO bearing need to be fully assembled before stabbing the trans. Most bell housings don't allow enough wiggle room to insert the fork once the trans is in place. Get a couple of trans to bell housing bolts installed loosely, then push the clutch pedal down and shove the trans into place. On a big heavy trans I've also used a come-along or big bungee cords to make the trans and bell housing mate up.
