[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 216440, member: 3959"] I got the transmission issue figured out, but this thing is still giving me problems :banghead:. Because the threaded end of this crankshaft is on the left side and that's what my puller/installer fits, I installed the crank into the left casing at first. It rotated freely and was nice nice. Then I ran into trouble trying to mate the 2 halves together. When I went to rotate the crank it rubbed somewhere. So I separated the 2 halves, and the crank and bearing stayed with the right side, and it rubbed in the right half somewhere. So I pressed out the crank and right side bearing, the left bearing is still in the case. I assume I'm not the first with these issues. Whats the trick here? I used a heat gun and froze the bearings to install. [/QUOTE]
