lol, its in gear(think its reverse). You should be able to pull that one up to line up with the rest. Don't pull to hard and pull it out, just enough to pop it up into neutral with the rest.

Ok, got the the clutch kit installed on the engine and i Couldn't get the DAMN THING TO slide into the clutch... I couldn't get the damn tranny on the engine, Biggest Pain in the ASS EVER! I tried twisting it back and fourth and pushing and it wouldn't go in... I used the pilot Alignment tool and it all lined up correctly. How the hell do you do it?!? I've done my clutch like 3 times, ever time it was a pain in the ass, I'm using the transmission jack as well and i have the engine Tilted back to make it easier.

I've done hundreds of standards, and they're always a pain. A little trick you can try: Bump it into gear, insert the driveshaft, and get a friend to slowly turn the driveshaft while you push, not real hard, but firmly, on the trans. This will turn the input shaft, and align the splines in the clutch. Hope this helps.

Couldn't just spining the back of the outshaft have the same result as turning the driveshaft? Driveshaft would be in the way like crazy... but I could pop it into.. gear.. I had it in neutral... Why would having it in gear help? I would just like to know, Curious.

Yeah, if you can reach the output shaft. I thought it didn't stick out far enough, though, is why I said to have a friend turn the d.s. for you. If it's in neutral, the output shaft won't turn the input shaft, or vice versa. That's why you put it in gear. You put it in gear so that turning the output shaft will turn the input shaft.
