Default mate 350 engine to trans

trans was in gear when motor was pulled without trans. after rebuild tried to mate engine with trans
I got engine and trans together within quarter inch. I pulled them together with the bellhousing bolts
now it seems to be on a bind and won't come out gear! motor is not running. could I have damaged
the spline? thanks Bob

No...you need to release the clutch disc a bit.....then it will slide right in......you have to move the fork a bit somehow, and wiggle it in at the same time.
