Texasdoc, you are the man!

With the transmission through the clutch splines, I pulled on the clutch fork with a ratchet strap to disengage the clutch. Using a forceful push, the transmission slid all the way in.

I now agree with everyone that the plastic alignment tool gets it close but not close enough.

Many thanks to everybody for the helpful suggestions, and to H-Rod for stopping by last night to help. You guys are great!
