Change your pilot bushing? Are you bolting the trans up without the clutch to checi it out? I always do that once before putting the clutch and flywheel in and rotate the output shaft to make sure there is no binding. That way when you put the clutch components in you will know if there are any issues with the assembly.
is it in the end of the crankshaft I didn't change it
but thought it would be about a inch if it wasn't going in
different trans

If these are parts have not been previously bolted together, I would guess that you have a transmission with a 4.80 inch diameter bearing retainer and you are trying to put it into a bell housing with a 4.35 inch opening (see brian6pac post 3). You may luck out and find that the previous owner of the transmission put an adapter ring around the 4.35 inch bearing retainer to make it fit a 4.80 in bell housing. In that case, you can just take it off.

The crank may not be drilled deep enough for the input shaft. Was the engine an automatic before this?

Sorry just read the other comments these guys are right check the hole in the bellhousing.
will do thanks
will do thanks
bearing retainer is the wrong size
The crank pilot hole may be too shallow. If confirmed it's easy to just cut a 1/4" off the input shaft.

Take the bellhousing off the engine and try to put it on the trans. If it wont go on the trans its the retainer size if it does then it is probably the crank hole as I said earlier.

You can machine the O.D. of the retainer or find a smaller one. Good luck.
Like brian6pac said make sure you have the proper diameter bearing retainer for the bellhousing , there are different sizes.
