your a ****** for using a root beer bottle, use a welch's grape soda bottle. in the future, stick the driveshaft in the back if the tranny and spin the drive shaft until the input shaft slips in. you are weak, i just bench the mother ****** up in there spin the driveshaft and "click" it slips in, its worked 5 times (many clutch changes)

Just wanted to add here, I installed the tranny again last night (swapped trannies, my 1st gear broke), and the driveshaft thing worked wonderfully.

Of course. I did the air method. I drilled a hole in the oil bottle cap, inserted a tube to the bottom. Then poked a hole near the top of the bottle, and applied pressurized air. It took quite a while due to air leaking, but it got the job done with very little effort on my part.
Tip: transfer oil to a soda bottle, it holds a lot more pressure. The oil bottle looked like it was about to bust with something like 12 psi.
I've been meaning to build something like this out of PVC or steel pipes, with a fitting for a flexible tube, a quick-connect air fitting for the compressor, and a screw-on top or bottom for filling with oil. It would make fluid changes a snap.

Hmm, i guess you can put the drive shaft in the trans, then put it in together. Kind of a balancing act...
