Message	you'll break apart the pilot you put in there. (The lip of mine had a few little bits break off) The motor is leaning backwards. If you have the tranny perpendicular to the ground (tranny jack) it is difficult to get right. Try lowering the tranny, the motor shouldn't move when you jack the tranny. (If it does then you are likely putting pressure on it mis-aligning the two.) Remember that the motor sits on just 2 points to its side, and the weight of the pressure plate/flywheel makes it lean backwards.
