Its probably hanging up on the pilot bearing . You can use the bolts to suck it in but do so very carefully and by hand not with a power tool . Go back and forth in a star pattern until it pops and pulls up flush then tighten up with an impact .

i did what the source did. Had the same problem on mine. I just gently pulled it in with the bolts. I knew everything was lined up also, still had the same problem

When I did my first clutch swap, I had hung up on my pilot bearing. There is really nothing to hang up on if everything is aligned right except the bearing. I would try to remove and take another stab at it. Pardon the pun!!

well after two days of fighting with the tranny and a few choice words it slid on. but the last 1/2 inch or so i had to use the bolts to pull it in the rest of the way. on to another piece of the car now.
