I've got a 5 speed in my JH and I'm buttoning the car up for the first test drive. The other night I went to put the driveshaft into the tranmission output yoke and it fits really, really, really tightly. Most cars I've ever worked on the driveshaft will slide right out with no trouble.  This one won't, I used a few hammer taps to try and put it in but it only moved fractions of an inch and is now steadfastly stuck.

Is there something I am missing here? I'm going to get it out, if I can, and wire brush the splines so they are completely clean, then grease them up and try again.

Any hints or comments would be welcome.
