I am stumped! I lengthened the splines, checked the pilot bearing, put it all back together and... nothing changed! I guess it is a little better... Stepping on the brakes doesn't kill the motor anymore... it just slows it down. So... any suggestions?
I think that I am going to have to pull the transmission and lengthen the splines further. Guess that is what you get when you let the bearing retainer and large grinding disc dictate how much you cut. I will pull the clutch disc and pressure plate to check clearance and measure the mainshaft and bearing retainer to compare to the original transmission. The problem has to be here. If I am overlooking something please let me know.
Going on vacation Friday without Miss Anne Thropy. She can sit and wait for three weeks until I have time to work on her again. Just lost all sorts of cool points with my friends though. Gonna have to take my Nissan Sentra... yuck!
