Default Anyone near El Mirage that can assist with trans install?

I swapped out the clutch and I'm in the process of reinstalling the trans, but I'm stuck at the last 1/4 inch. I took the tranny back down 3 times to make sure the clutch was aligned, but still no luck. Can anyone assist possibly tonight or tomorrow night? Call or text me 323-422-0423

I will compensate you. If you can't make it over, Do you guys think the clutch is not aligned properly or do I need to push it more?
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated

I know it seems impossible. but when I was a kid, we made it work without an alignment tool.
back then clutches didnt come with one.

to the op, the alignment tool is the easiest way to do it. pilot bearing might be smashed in sideways. its fustrating I know.

Few things more frustrating than being under a car and trying forever and things not going how they are supposed to

Thanks for the input guys. I called o'reilys and order stock alignment tool. I should have it tomorrow and will try it out.

I tried to do it by eye, thought it was correct, but no luck.

It should just slide I right?
