aligning tranny....

I just replaced the clutch in my 81 gsl, used clutch alignment tool, slides in+out easily. Cannot get the tranny back in. Have tried balancing tranny on jack, raising then sliding in. Doesent go in. Edge of tranny case gets to about 1 1/2" away from back of rear housing and stops. The thin part of the input shaft is entering clutch, but the splined part is not. Anyone have any suggestions?
