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?

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?

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.
