Yeah you would think the tranny would rotate into alignment as soon as you try to ram it on but it can be supper stubborn sometimes. I simply put it in gear (just yank the shaft) and then turn the tranny by hand. Just grab on where the prop shaft bolts on and give it a little turn. If it's still stubborn, give it another little turn. It's kind of like Russian roulette. Sometimes the splines line up and sometimes they don't.
