Transmission too tight.

[whirnot]

I haven't been here for a while but am at wits end and need some help.
I just finished installing a new Mitchell Synchronized transmission.


For some reason it is too tight. As per Mitchells instructions I made sure the synchros were free and checked then as I was going back together. As I slid the rear end forward to hook up the drive shaft, I could easily turn the output shaft to align the u joint with the drive shaft. as soon as I tightened the U joint caps, it put too much pressure on the output shaft and locks the input and output shafts together. I even tried removing the felt seal, just to see if that made a difference.


I noticed on another thread that Walkerlakeprinter said his caps were A-4517 -B2 top, and A-4514-B2 Bottom.


According to Steve Pluckers info this is what it should have.


My 29 has A-4514-B2 top and bottom. Can this be what Is causing the problem? If not any ideas what is?


I have contacted Steve Mitchell, and although he has been very friendly and helpful I think he is about out of ideas too. I noticed the cap number issue after talking to him.
