Hi Transman,

If I am figuring out your measurements, anything longer than 8.55" from the face of the transmission is "along for the ride". I am only getting about 8.25" on mine, meaning I am still a little short. I was informed that Passon Performance has extended a pilot bearing to make up the necessary distance in 833 four speeds, so I contacted them. I hope to hear back shortly. Sounds like this idea of extending the pilot bearing will work so I won't need another input shaft. at least not for now.
