I have the 4-speed transmission on two guide bolts and it's about 1/4 in. from touching the bell housing. But it seems to be hitting something. Is the fit between the clutch gear bearing retainer and the bellhousing hole really close?

I'm using a tranny jack with pitch and yaw adjustments but I just can't get it the last little bit. Any hints??

Thanks!!
