T56 input shaft trimming

Trail Beast is correct.

Go very easy on the grease though, a tiny bit on the splines will help with assembly, a bit on the pilot bushing helps with assembly as well.

Too much can get thrown off the assembly as it rotates onto the clutch surface, definitely not a good thing.

I just use a small paint brush with a little for the splines (barely see it on there actually)
The theory on that besides assembly, is that when the clutch disc get released it does'nt bind on the splines causing dragging on the flywheel and crunch going from neutral into reverse.
Some believe that once installed the disc never moves on the splines but that is not true. (it moves a small amount under normal driving.
