Don, it was not just TRF that had mis-drilled cross shafts; I had a
problem with one sourced from Moss. However, I would suspect that all
cross shafts are sourced from the same place.
The problem I had with mine, was that the I/D of the hole in the cross
shaft was insufficient to allow the pin to be fully inserted. I
slightly honed it out to allow the pin to be fully inserted. However,
when I replaced my T/O bearing with the Gunst, I ordered a new cross
shaft from TRF and it was spot on.

Subject: TRF Clutch cross shaft
Hmmm.....As I stood here looking at my newly arrived TRF clutch cross
shaft, the bells starting ringing.
...Now he remembers the horror stories about the miss drilled TRF clutch
cross shaft....
How can I tell if I have a good clutch cross shaft or a bad one? Is it
enough to compare it with the old one, or is the difference not readily
noticeable. The transmission and cross shaft is at the body shop -- not
out of reach, but not at my finger tips either.
