Have you put the clutch on the input shaft on the gear box to make shower its the right on . if so have you used a alignment tool to get in the center of the fly wheel

they can be tricky sometimes, just stick with it and give it awigle and twist the box incase the splines are quite in sliding position.

It can be a ball ache (in fact it's mostly a ball ache), but as said wiggle FTW!
