I had to get a different input shaft with longer splines,so that the shaft would insert all the way into the pilot bearing. If the splines aren`t lengthened a like amount, the input shaft can bottom out on the pressure plate .

My original Ram with tko 600 and shortened shaft was ok.

My McLeod replacement needed more spline length

Just a thought, as I haven`t seen it mentioned before.

Maurice,
It's not a shorter input shaft. It's the standard one. I think it's ok - I double checked the clearances at the pilot bushing surface, and at the crank - and they seem to be fine. The guys at McLeod and Tremec seem to think that taking a bit off the bearing retainer will do the trick. I'll try that and see if it solves the problem. Thanks.
