Ill have to pull the trans back out I found out the pilot bearing & disk are in bad shape I should have checked them while I was doing the trans but I dident

the disk grips fine but rattles terrably & the pilot symptom is you pump the clutch once & the trans is noisy & the driveline wiggles in nutral pump it again & the trans is quiet & the drive line is still
I had my local clutch & brake reliner make me a disk for $50 & I bought a new pilot bearing I can do the clutch in under 2 hours no prob so its not that bad
so 1 or 2 coats more primer than a couple of coats of paint the clutch & load my equipment on & yee hah more room & better fuel milage
once again thanks & take care
