When lining up the splines, I found it helped to mark a radial line on the gearbox output flange so it could be turned back to where it started if it got knocked during assembly. Prior to assembly, once the box was in gear, a trial rotation showed how the blind spline moved with respect to this mark. A mental note was made of the orientation of the mark before the gear box was moved forward with the splines lined up. Without the mark, I easily lost the track of position of the blind spline, but with it I could always set the blind spline back to the required angle.

That is what I do, last year I had the gearbox in and out about 5 or 6 times over a space of a few days (clutch disengagement problems - resolved by fitting a spacer between the gearbox & the crankcase) so I was getting proficient at doing this...
The correct clutch alignment tool is very useful indeed!
A little patience is required, or lots of it, never use force, I found the gearbox more manageable without the gearlever fitted.
