is the clutch aligned correctly?

Sometimes the splines just don't want line up/go in.
I've had a hell of time getting them in a few times.

Like civ said, start off by making sure your clutch is aligned correctly. Second (and yes, this will sound stupid) make sure you actually have a B series transmission.

Was anything done to the transmission while it was out of the car? How was it left sitting? Does it feel smooth when you turn it by hand?

i checked and clutch is aligned correctly and the trans sat on a tire off the ground for awhile still spins freely and such it came off this car while i built the engine so it is a b series trans

As long as it wasn't sitting on the input shaft, you should be fine.

Will it not slide in at all, or is it just the final "click" you're having a hard time with?

it feels like it wont go in at all i think i just dont have it at the right angle or something but even when its at the same angle it dosnt want to go in haha

I use an engine hoist to put my trannys in.
Lots better than trying to lift it by hand and not having the correct angle so the splines line up.
I can be a beotch!

Like everyone else is saying here and make sure the dowels line up too. I had a dowel that was messed up and the tranny wouldnt go in for the world.
