Vitaly important to check the plate splines fit the box shaft, also the plate is lined up perfectly. Are the drive shafts still connected? That somtimes makes it harder, you've got to get the box up to the flywheel and make sure it's square on, wiggle it about somtimes moving the flywheel round helps the gbox shaft to go into the clutch. Sometimes the engine tends to move back in the engine bay making it impossible to get the box on. I've has the edges of the splines burr over on the clutch plate, making the gbox shaft impossible to get in.
my series 3: I removed the crossmember (cut it off) so that I could take the box off from underneath, then welded plates on so that the crossmember was bolt on. A very good conversion, I think.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Duncanwood saying something like:
Wipe off any excess lubrication; check for angle, penetrate, thrust; and before you know it, the box is where you want it to be.
