The weight of the transaxle has to be take up correctly and be parallel to the engine and in my case everything went in when the planets aligned. I used a floor jack and this took a littlejuggling but everything came together on our '98 986.

Ron - Thanks for the reply. I used the clutch alignment tool. I'll double check it still slides back and forth OK. It worked great and made it easy. I also rotated the transaxle in gear so get splines to mesh with disc. I figured that was my problem but it didn't seem to help. Ya this makes no sense, I figured this would be a 2 out of 5 compare to the rest of the job, now it is a road block and to top it off I pinched my neck putting that darn oil fill tube in so I'm delayed. I'll take pictures and remeasure. So strange because we had everything lined up so good, even used a guide insert to keep the bellhousing and trany bolt holes lined up. I told my Dad that folks even do this with just a jack and no trans adapter on it. Let me go takes some pics.
