Today was an even better day. I got the GT6 fully assembled. It fired up without too much trouble and I drove it aroudn the neighbohood successfully. Even used 3 of the 4 gears. They all worked. The clutch behaved and sounded normal.
This was all due to a squealing bearing between the input and mainshafts, also producing a whine on overrun. I had a local machine shop put a hardened sleeve on the tip of the mainshaft, then installed new bearings of course. I took the opportuntity to have a pin put into the brass TO bearing holder to eliminate the noise where it had gotten so worn. It's only been a year or so...
