Ok so I just got my new m20 back together, I go to put the trans back on and it just doesn't want to seem to slide on to the dowels. It gets about 1/4" from it but just stops dead, pilot bearing and clutch are aligned everything is on correctly I don't see why it wouldnt just slide the rest of the way. The splines are all nice and clean. I've never had this problem before usually a little wiggle gets it on complete but I just can't seem to get it! And ideas?

You may just need to use the bolts to suck it up, tighten in sequence top to bottom, top to bottom, etc.

OP, you need to eliminate as many possible sources of interference. If you dont want to measure a lot of things, i would start by removing the clutch and pressure plate and then install the tranny. this will get your options down to the pilot bearing and the locating dowels. Start adding parts til you find it.
