Lastly, but related, I had to pull the pressure plate off to make sure the flywheel bolts were tight, and I can find torque specs for either the flywheel or pressure plate bolts. Any ideas here?
That’s it. I’ll keep everybody updated with what I find. YES, You probably bought a 7 1/4′ clutch bell housing and you have an 8″ clutch. Some serious grinding away of the 7 1/4″ bell housing clutch cross shaft bosses will solve the problem. Better yet, just swap the bell housings and use your original 8″ one on the “rebuilt’ transmission. 7 1/4″ bell housings have a 5/8″ clutch cross shaft, 8″ bell housings have a 3/4″ clutch cross shaft. 2)NO, some play will be present, but 1/8″ sounds on the high side. If the needle rollers at the rear of the first motion shaft ( clutch shaft ) were not replaced, some excess play may be evident. Also, the front ball bearing may have too much play. In any case, the crankshaft bush must be new and a nice snug fit on the first motion shaft . This will help support the first motion shaft and probably you could live with the 1/8” play. New front ball bearing and new input spigot roller needles should reduce the play. Tough call from afar, but since its r
