It would be good to hear from someone who is hands on with it.

It appears that the inner and outer races for the roller bearing are intentionally built with an insane amount of free play. When its moved all the way over to one side of the race, it no longer spins true. As well as the plastic sleeve used to slide on the input shaft has a bit of slop in it as well. When I was looking at Chris's Clutch disc, Exedy has a little plastic "ring" that is between the center splines and the rest of the clutch, that too has a bunch of free-play. I am wondering if its a case of tolerance stacking, which is why it seems that the shifting/trans issues are so hit or miss...
