I replaced the clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing. I used a universal alignment tool to get the plate aligned. The transmission end stopped 1" from the bell housing. I did the usual shaking and rocking with no luck. The studs line up perfectly. I'm not sure if it's the 4wd shaft or the large or small spline.I pulled it apart and used a level and straightedge to get everything square and level. I've replaced dozens of clutches but never had this much trouble. I chalked the ends of the shafts to see where the interference is but didn't see anything. I tried turning the engine slightly and that didn't help.
Am I missing something or is there a trick ? Thanks
