I just finished up putting a clutch and transmission in mine. The fumblehead shop I paid $120/hr to put the clutch in it 2 years ago didn't put the input shaft bearing cover on right. They had it turned so the return oil gallery was not in the right place. This cause the bearing to go bad and wiped out the pilot bearing. Clutch and pedal rattled something fierce. The best I can tell is they decided being able to read Eaton on the cover at 12 o'clock was more important than the oil flowing through the bearing properly. Glad I paid hard earned money for that... Never again if I have any say in it.

Wow what shame, that's exactly why I'm forced to do this one myself. I honestly don't have the time to do it but what choice do I have? To answer your question, I haven't started on it yet.
