Re: t5 question

there were a lot of info that you didn't inc orig so one tried to cover the bases.
on the earlier installations (s10 nwc) without using the adaptor one had to do some modifications to the input shaft, but this is not required with your assembly as far as i know.
just check the length of this input shaft against the length of the one you took out; just double check, there can only be several places that can give you a problem. pilot brg. is it all of the way in. there is not restricting behind it .double check the distance from the face of the brg to the outer face of the bell housing and the corresponding distance on the input shaft
the next point is length of spline and I don't know how you can see 1" of spline with the trans sitting in there. humour me here and measure again from the face of the pilot bushing to the trans side of the clutch disc and compare that to the length of spline to make sure that it is adequate. do the measure from the same point on the clutch disc to the face of the b/housing and compare that measure to the length of the input brg retainer and shaft right to the face of the trans.
when you have the trans sitting in there as far as it can go, do you have clearance between the pressure plate and the t/o brg( there are different lengths of brgs). check the dia, of the input brg retainer to the dia of the hole in the bell housing. if all of those check it should go in. Sometimes we get tired and frustrated when these types of things happen and we oversee what the problem is.
you didn't say what pressure plate and t/o that you were using, but if it (problem ) still prevails, put the orig clutch,p/plate and t/o brg in there--- there should be no reason why that trans won't go in there if the trans spline is the same
there are only so many so many contact points that can cause a problem and they are all covered except for one and that is if there is a problem with the splines in either the c/disc or input shaft (damaged)
