15JUL2015 - Transmission Installed
I got the transmission back on and I think it was the shim under the pivot ball that was creating the problem. Like I said, I don't remember even installing a pivot ball in the Shep trans when I got it from Shep but, either way, it was there. At the time this was a brand new ACT twin disk so the odds are the shim under the pivot ball threw off the geometry of the clutch fork and pushed it too far towards the clutch causing the TOB to "kiss" the PP.
After months of procrastination I replaced the TOB and fulcrum with OEM and removed that washer. I dry humped the transmission into submission, it only took a few dozen attempts and near death experiences installing it by myself, but now the TOB rides freely on the input shaft and the clutch fork's position is perfect without that washer under there.
NEXT!
According to RRE's Tech page I was in the OK side of the window and a shim wasn't necessary after I reinstalled everything. ---> RRE Clutch & Flywheel Tech
