Whew, the correct trans was used.

And they still think the pilot bearing is the culprit, as they have checked everything else and all parts look and function like new.

Man I hope that's it. Hate to button this thing back up and then have to do it again.

Ibr8k4vetts I missed it after 22 hours. My bad. Rick

How does the tip if the input shaft look? Is it scratched or galled? Any blueing?? If there were a pilot bearing problem, you would think there would be some evidence of it on the tip of the input shaft.

The tip has been proclaimed healthy.

I think the bushing is the softer of the two and would expect the damage to show up there first.

Pertaining to the senario that Jerry Clayton has described.
Have you done a test on the disc to see if the center is bent which would cause the dics to wobble when spun true from the imput shaft area.

Yep, the disc is ok.
