I had the same problem, and had to tap the TT shaft in so that I could mount the trans. Remember that the shaft will only go in a bit, since the pilot bearing will stop forward movement. Once the trans is installed, you may need to pry the TT shaft back toward the trans to get the proper alignment for the bolts on the connecting collar.

Simple answer, YES, the pilot bearing will stop forward movement of the TT shaft. Tap the shaft lightly, don't go getting all medieval on the thing or you may damage the pilot bearing.
