Hi Jerry, what's "backlash"? It shifts easier than before, but I am surprised that it seems to run noisier than what I expected when I let the clutch out, at least to me. Perhaps these things just run noisy normally? Seems two gears running smoothly in a sea of gear oil should be happier and quieter. I hear no clanking, just whirring. Still not sure I got it right on the gasket thickness just because it doesn't leak. That dial indicator would have been great, but no such luck on this old puppy from what I can see.
