No I did not Dale and in fact it was a bugger getting in until it finally
popped in place. Do you think something could have come loose but not
showed up as a problem immediately?

Just a question, did you use pilot bolts to support and direct the
transmission in place upon your last assembly?

Thanks Kendall, I did go out to the garage last night and used a pry bar to
check the end float. Did not use a mic but by feel, didn't detect anything
measureable so I'll put that in the column of reviewed but not probable.

Hi Darcy,
The last time I had the symptoms that you describe... I had lost the thrust
washer at the rear main bearing. And the reason the clutch stopped working
properly is because the whole crankshaft had about a 1/4" of travel front to
back. I let it go too long before I discovered the root cause and ended up
with a messed up crank and block. Not cool. Hopefully not your problem, but
you should definitely check the end float before trying anything else.
