Default Clutch Line Install Problem

I can't seem to get the clutch line installed on the T56. Is there some kind of trick to getting it hooked up to the trans? I'm pushing like crazy but it just doesn't seem to click in place.

thanks

It's a pain, I'll tell you that. You just need to make sure you are pushing it in squarely, and not cocked to one side. To make things easier get an open ended 13mm wrench and use that to get more leverage to push it in with.

Try breaking the bleeder valve a little, but watch out because it's probably going to shot fluid out all over. You probably just have to much pressure against th echack valve and can't push line in until you let some off.
