Hello again WhipE350
As memory serves me the disc cannot go in backwards. I had lowered the rear of my engine a bit and that allowed the transmission to elevate that little bit more. Remember to hold one transmission output flange while you rotate the other trying to get the splines engaged. You mention using a guide insert to try to align the engine and transaxle. Maybe if you let the transaxle float up a touch more without guides you will get success. Do not expect the bolts to help. Once the splines engage it will really pop in. As 59 coupe noted I used the regular lift plate on a floor jack and manually worked while the height was adjusted. Hope you can report success after another try.
