Nahh, the clearances are so huge it pretty much doesn't matter. What *I* 
screwed up, I'm fairly sure now, was not seating the C-clip on the input 
shaft. I had to tap it into place, and no, it wasn't burred or nicked. 
It's just close tolerance. The C_clip was loose in the TO bearing nose, 
and it let the input shaft push inward and ground the bearings into 
expensive grit.

Other than that 2-3 grind I freaked out about a month ago, and one 
other, it's been perfect. ANd those grinds are from shifting too fast. 
It's a sloooooow shifting trans! The synchros are just bronze-on-steel 
cones with large clearances and rely on the sloppiest friction and oil 
drag to work.
