I reassembled the tranny after the clutch for fell out...heres the problem should I reinsert the wedge collar into the clutch first...ooooooooorrrrr...do I slide it over the throw out bearing and then try and push it in? Becasue I am having trouble putting it back in now that it is all mounted.

No, the wedge collar needs to be pushed into the Pressure Plate/Clutch side before you mate up the tranny. Once you have mated the tranny, you then push the throw-out bearing into it.

If you connected up the slave cylinder already, you may have a diffcult time pushing the throw-out bearing since it will have some pressure built up. I typically leave the slave disconnected or just undo the clutch line up in the engine bay area to remove the pressure on the slave cylinder.

Are you telling me I HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE ENTIRE ******* TRANNY AGAIN!?! JUST put that collar in?

Yep.

It's doubful you'll get enough even pressure around the ring to push it into the pressure plate without dropping the tranny. I tried it and ended up damaging the wedge collar. Had I taken the extra time to drop the tranny, it would have saved me the 4-5 days I had to wait for the replacement (as well as the tow bill from when the collar failed).
