Gary,

Aha...got another theory working. The guys at the clutch place say the too-thick-plate is probably *not* the issue. They think that the friction plate isn't sliding along the shaft due to some imperfection in the splines...like a burr or something. Now, this makes perfect sense given my first major screw up on the rebuild. (I was hoping I wouldn't have to admit to this, but here goes...)

The first time I went to put the engine and tranny back together, I did it solo, and I ended up not having the tranny shaft synced up on the splines. I thought it was ok, but it wasn't. Too much torque on the bolts, and I cracked the engine block at the clutch housing flange. How's that for learning a lesson the hard way? I was able to track down a bare block, had to pay some "tuition" at the machine shop to have it decked and the sleeves transfered over. Then, I had a knowlegable neighbor help me reassemble it right the second time.

So, it's quite likely that there's a scratch or something on the splines of the tranny shaft or the splines of the plate. The parts guys suggest just running it around for an hour or so to see if it will work itself smooth.

Dang...gotta drive the tractor around tonight ;-).
