Thanks guys. I will check the pilot bearing when I pull the transmission later this week to lengthen the splines.
Ahhh... Hindsight is always 20/20. When I cut the bearing retainer and mainshaft I thought to myself "What about lengthening the splines... That was mentioned on the Stovebolt... *long pause* Is that Chuck Norris over there? Awesome!" I hate it when I get distracted.
