833 Assembly Woes...

I cleaned up the Bearing Surface of the Input Shaft on a Lathe with some Sandpaper... 220, 400, 600 then some Crocus Cloth
for about a half hour at a Low RPM. I don't think it really took anything off, it measured the same before and after. Maybe a half thou (.0005)
Gonna Try the @Oldmanmopar method this weekend.

You can assemble trans with front bearing, and input/cluster installed. Do it all the time. Make sure you use the oil slinger with that input.
