There is no clocking on the flywheel. And the flywheel doesn't directly engage anything on the trans.
Its just a matter of positioning it. Its always a bitch to do until you get the hang of it.
Or you have doubled up on a dowel pin? Look at the dowel pins that are used to line the trans up. There should be one pin per hole. Sometimes, these fall out and you can attempt to use two pins for one hole.

Yup, its a pain in the butt the first time or two. after that you get the hang of it and everything gets easier.

When I got my S, PO said new clutch. After I own the car I start to notice gouges on the plastic on top side of console. Then when I did shifter regrease, I find broken plastic holders aroumd the shifter.
I suspect shop that did the clutch did not know S, and in their clumsy attempts figuring out how to remove console and shifter, they broke stuff.
Point is, beware of generic shops with no S experience.
Its ironic, because many of us work on our own S, and dont break random stuff, and we're not pros. Because we read up on diy's first, we know how its done. Often a shop just wants it done fast, and wont take the time to look things up when they are different from most cars they work on (which the S has lots of things that are unique).

Lining it up is just a by-feel thing. If you're sure there's nothing interfering....then its just a line up issue. Its not easy to do this with the engine in the car. It takes a mixture of cunning, strength, and intuition. Like some kind of goddamn sea otter.
