Ok that is a new one. How would not pressing in the clutch a number of times kill the rear main?

Since the input shaft bearing is a "little louse",..not a precision bearing, and
the splines in the disc are a little sloppy, you COULD get the transmission to
bolt up. But it could be loading the crankshaft forward putting high pressure
on the rear of the thrust face. Had a customer do this on a race engine,..
burnt the rear main and stuck the engine..
