If you are using an alignment tool, you should have no problems bolting the transmission to the bellhousing. But I would enlist the help of a friend to push the
clutch pedal in after you get the input shaft in the disc's splines. This will release the pressure plate's grip on the disc
and allow you to move the input shaft into
the pilot bearing. The transmission should
then be against the bellhousing and ready to be bolted up.
