Larry,
Icleaned the input shaft when I installed it the first time. Even now I do not see anything wrong with the pilot bearing.
I pulled the transmission this afternoon and took some pics if you guys could take a look. I have some suspensions about the pressure plate being the right one. After I pulled the flywheel I laid the disk on and then the pressure plate on top. How much space should be between the pressure plate and the flywheel? Look like about .080" or so. Meaning that .080" is what the bolts tight up when installed. The disk has a few shinny spots on the outsides edges on both sides but other wise look fine to me. Here is a link to the pics:
