Alignment is critical. I tried 3-4 release bearings, thinking one after
another was bad (used AND new). Finally discovered that the yoke was just a
hair cockeyed. When only one of those pins is pushing the bearing against a
spinning clutch, it makes a screeching sound that'll curl your hair!
(Kicker is that the old gearbox I was replacing had a welded-on yoke!
Perfectly aligned, so it CAN be done.)
The good news is, I'm now rather good at removing/reinstalling gearboxes! I
think the SIXTH time was the charm! :^)
