Re-installing a manual transmission, I remember the pains. I have two wooden pilot alignment tools in my tool set. One for Ford and the other for GM. Both can be a PIA.

The only advice I can give is perseverance. If you have aligned it correctly and confirmed the pilot bearing you will need to wiggle it till everything aligns.

BTW: My method for removing the the old pilot bearing was to fill it with grease. Then use a wooden dowel the same size as the bearing to insert it and tap it with a hammer. It would come out effortlessly every time.
