The input shaft has about .008 to .010 wear where the pilot bearing fits. The clutches look good. The flywheel has a couple of grooves, but not very bad. I know that is too much wear on the shaft, but 1 can I get a new shaft or 2 is there a way to repair it. does anyone know the dimension of the shaft? Thanks

Take it to a machine shop, have it turned to true it up and a sleeve shrunk onto it. It will need turned back to the original OD after the sleeve is installed. Rod

Thanks. Does anyone know what the OD should be? The engine and flywheel are in the shop.

I have one of the multi disc input shafts on the shelf. Pilot bearing end of the shaft measures .0685 -.0689. It is fairly clean and shows very little if any wear. We are not 'posed to sell stuff over the forum. Email me and we can work something out if you are interested. [email protected]

I'm sure Ken meant to have the decimal one place to the right, but that would be very obvious.
