Are you installing the input shaft in the tranny first or with the converter? I've found there's usually enough play to install the shaft into the converter and then into the tranny. As soon as the flats on the converter engage the pump gear, you need to keep rotating (wiggling) the converter until the shaft engages the front clucth pack. When it does, it should slide the rest of the way.
