Cut about 1/8 inch off the transmission input shaft where it goes into the pilot. It is bottoming out in the crankshaft and binding up.



We had to do this on a hemi road runner. The crank was not drilled deep enough. The clutch was growling when in gear. We thought it was a junk throwout bearing so we replaced it with a different brand and had the same growl. After measuring we found the new crank was not drilled deep enough so it had to much pressure on the input shaft bearing.
