Did you replace or check your pilot bearings and align your clutch properly?

can you spin the driveshaft?? is the tranny in neutral? might not be close but i made this mistake.

i put the tranny in gear and jacked up one back wheel to spin the drive shaft. is there a key or something i the splines or something

There is not a key, it should slide on. Have you unbolted the drive shaft from the differential? If not you should do that. It will give you enough room to move the front of the drive shaft over the tailshaft of the trans.
Good luck.

put the driveshaft spline into the transmission. spin it around until it slides in. then bolt it to the differential....

It's much easier if you remove the big heat shield from under the transmission during the install. Also make sure to coat the spline/yolk of the shaft with transmission oil to avoid tearing the seal. Just get it in there, wiggle and turn it until it pops into place.
