How else would you be able to side load the support
other than pushing sideways on the T/O bearing... you
have a good pilot bearing and I assume the input shaft
bearings are ok, so that leaves very little to look at




That is exactly write, the input shaft would have to move over a long way's to even touch the retainer. if it had there would signs of that in rubs, whipped out bearings or a very badly bent crank. none of which I have.
