Did you check to see if it fit the shaft before installing in the flywheel. Did you check the clutch discs on the splines before assembly. Do you have alignment pins screwed into the transmission housing to help line everything up. Put the PTO in ground speed and turn the shaft. Nothing to it after about two or three clutch jobs a month for the last 30 years and I never use a pilot shaft, just eyeball it. [Reply]   [No Email]
