Clutch adjustment help needed!!!

Pulled the tranny and input shaft shows signs of slight scoring where the needle bearings slid over the shaft. Is itpossible that this pilot bearing from Passon possibly was too tight on the trans shaft when installed and input rotation to the trans even when clutch was engaged? I'm planning on pulling the pilot bearing and installing a pilot bushing in the end of the crank. Clutch is adjusted properly and trans shifts fine when removed. What gives?
