4250 Reinstalling input pack clutch

[PHOY]

I rebuilt the input planetary clutch on a 4250 powershift. Now I'm trying to put it back in and can't get it to slide in. The planetary gears have the arrows all lined up. I used the high low shaft to help align it with now luck. It looks like it has about a 1/4 inch to go. Am I missing something? Any advice would be appreciated.

Keep twisting the shaft and shake it a bit till it lines up,,"Don't draw it in",,but you already knew that...

I guess I just assumed that you put the planetary into the ring gear first and then put the clutch pack in and tried to align the gears. Is that the correct order? I guess I could put the planetary on the clutch pack first and try to put it in the ring gear together. Not sure how I would align the gears though. I'm really having a hard time getting the gears to align. Am I putting it together in the correct order?

I think your going right,, they are hard to line up,, I have walked away from them a few times...then go back and they go in place...

Thanks for the help Tim. You were exactly right. Had to give up a few times and come back. Then it popped in. Thanks again!
