I appreciate the tips. The two pictures I posted below are the best I have of the input shaft back from July of last year when I had the trans out last.
I have everything back together now with a new T/O bearing and pilot bushing installed. I was careful to install the fork correctly. As for the other suggestions you made I’ll have to check another time.
The chatter seems improved but not fixed. I wonder if part of that is due to the surface of the flywheel and pressure plate being “altered” from the previous chattering condition. I considered replacing the clutch kit but since I found my T/O bearing to be suspect I decided to try replacing that first. Pulling everything wasn’t hard so if the remaining chatter doesn’t improve (which it probably won’t) I’ll pull it all again, check the things mentioned, have the flywheel turned and replace the clutch kit.
Back in post #7 I asked if input shaft play could be measured to be within an acceptable tolerance or if it was “by feel”.
