For newly shipped TKO's with stuck shafts...

I received my new TKO yesterday and it arrived with a stuck shaft. I went ahead and removed the rubber shipping bushing that goes between the output shaft and the rear seal.

I was almost expecting it to arrive that way, after all of the accounts that I had read about. I thought about it and was prepared ahead of time. Instead of using a pair of channel locks and a rag or opening the transmission, I slid the clutch disc onto the input shaft and put a little muscle into it. It broke free almost instantly and everything appears normal now.

I know some are advised to pull the top cover and align the shifter forks....some use channel locks on the input shaft....but this seems to be the easiest and the quickest.
