I have a new pilot bearing and have used a little emery cloth on the input shaft
where it will ride. The shaft was never not "free to spin", Just to be clear, it was the pilot bearing "froze up" on the end of the input shaft. The bellhousing was an inch or so away from the engine but would come no further. Since we had installed that tranny a couple days earlier its kind of a mystery as to why the bearing froze on the shaft. We did not get into the clutch when we swapped trannys. It didnt go into the pilot bearing any harder than usual.
Does it still sound like this event could cause the problem? Hopefully the yarding on the tranny didn't cause any more problems
