Just to clarify; we ground off the casting numbers, clearanced the spacer plate where the bolt heads of trans, bearing retainer interfered, as well as slightly knocked off the sharp edge of the cast steel bearing retainer so that the plate fitted flush to the face of the transmission. If you hold the plate to the trans. surface and look through the opening, you should see where it interferes.

...and as I indicated above, we cut off a little of the end of the shaft to be sure it didn't hit the end of the crank.
