I’d definitely loosen the trans mounts to give some wiggle room.......it’s good your feeling better.......Mark
 
It needs to be perfectly aligned to go together, both angularly, and up and down and side to side. Don't forget the shaft must be rotated to get the splines in angular alignment.
When putting the motor in my 33 I had the inspection cover off and was able to put a long pointed bar through the hole and push the splines around until they finally aligned and slipped in. Shine a good light down there so You can really see what is going on.

I’m Probly getting paranoid now but after Marts look in ****** window idea, the spline doesn’t seem to get past the bevel on the front of the thrust Spline. Can Someone confirm dimension on ‘39 ****** to clutch spline major diam is 1.375 minus a couple? I should of compared My actual ****** spline dimension w the busted one I used as the alignment tool but didn’t and don’t wanna pull engine to check:eek:

Loosened ****** mounts & must have given enough extra play & spline finally meshed! Also opening window on back of ****** helped big time as I could see the spline when aligned, Thx Mart! Whew, made me work :) !

That's great news Anthony. Do a little write up and post it on Fordbarn for folks who may need the info. When situations like that occur, I always say, "Wait a minute, I can't be the only person ever confronted with this problem. Therefore, it's solvable."
 
Thx Guys for the good words, encouragement & help. Will do a little write up for anyone who might go thru it as you say 19Forty & I’ll give Mart credit for great idea removing the “take a peek” window cover on the back of the Trans, little thing but Giant help!;)
