A833 trans alignment issue? Help

It's the same bell housing and he got it working temorarily by the pilot changes.
Use crokus cloth and polish the heck out of the input shaft and use a well greased needle bearing pilot.
It will drop right in and be golden.

For whatever reason this is a pilot issue, and that last little bit pulled in with the bolts pretty much proves it.
The flared edge of the bushing just proves it again.
Pulling the clutch a little on assembly only lets the disc align if it's off center and has nothing really to do with the pilot.
