e-tek, Wayne has posted a comprehensive tech article in the library with lots of photos. With your background I don't anticipate you will have to look at it more than twice.

WhipE350, Hmmm, I don't know what to tell you except I had both of my sons in the garage for the install and we took 3 runs at it achieving success on the third try. Nothing special here, just a floor jack and a couple of blocks of wood. Pay close attention to the angle of approach; it sounds like you have a trans adapter of some sort for this job? Using the floor jack gave the ability to adjust angle of approach on the fly. As 986Ron stated, when the planets align, in it goes. I am puzzled how you could seat the input shaft fully into the pilot bearing and still have an inch though? Barring an oversight, like installing the clutch disc backwards (which might explain the inch) or something it makes no sense to me? All I can possibly suggest at this point is; study and re-look everything.

Happy New Year,
Z
