Well a local trans shop pressed in the new input bearing/seal for 20 bucks. Not bad IMO. Saved me from having to pound on that bearing to get it in/out for hours! I also inspected the other bearings in the trans, along with all the gear teeth, and found the output bearing to be slightly damaged. One of the roller's had a bunch of small pits in it. So i got to wait to get that in from the dealer now, but it should be nice and fixed when it goes back in. Also took my custom built clutch out to the clutch builder, and took it apart. There was a thin layer of oily film all over the clutch disk, flywheel, and pressure plate. Lots of grey colored "dusty crud" in it also, which he said was burned up greese/oil residue. He says the clucth disk facings will need to be replaced, and also will take some fine sandpaper to the pressure plate and flywheel surfaces, to get them new again. This clutch is great, because even with that film of oil on it, it hasn't slipped at ALL for a long time..now that's a clutch!
