Did you chock the front of the engine so that the engine didn\'t tip fowards?
Is this an FC or FD?

Ah yeah, that might stop the splines getting fully home!

Just a quick one to say thanks for advice.
I put the jack under the sump (on a large flat piece of wood) and that was enough to the engine in a better position to fit the box.
Once it was 90% of the way in, a \'Technical tap\' finished the job.
All up and running - proper cuffed.
I\'ve missed the boat but for completeness we had exactly the same thing once. We were checking dowels, realigned the clutch, engine up, engine down and still it wouldn\'t go on.
In the end as you say, it just, well, went on. The summary conclusion to the thread is thus: Persevere.
ATB.
