[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 15675971, member: 179097"] Looking for a little advice here, I just swapped out my clutch to a Mcleod RST, new Mcleod stock flywheel, new TOB (ford racing), new idle bearing (ford racing), new TOB sleeve it went in fine and input shaft centered perfectly, Put back together with .0038 shim way too tight-then to 36 too tight then back to stock shim .0034 shaft would turn now but zero end play, went to a .0032 and felt just right on end play (.0005 almost unmeasurable) was tight but shaft moved without any resistance and felt like the old 10 spline before I took it out. Now, the car makes a murmering noise when clutch is out and in nutral or going down the road, another words when input shaft is turning. I don't think it's the clutch or TOB. Those of you who have done this a few times, should I take it back apart and look it over? Can the input shaft be too tight? If the input shaft has nearly zero endplay is that a problem? As I said with everything tightend back up and sealed up I have nearly zero end play but I can easily turn the input shaft by hand and it feels perfectly smooth, same feel as when the factory 10-spline was in it, but for sure less end play. This transmission has always been a little noisy but not given problems, fluid looked good. I am running Pennzoil syncromesh in it. And have just turned 200 miles on new setup. [/QUOTE]
