Jim,

Bear in mind, no matter how bad a pilot bearing is; (worn, galled, dry, tranny shaft too long and bottoming on the crank), when you are stopped and have the transmission in gear (1st), the input shaft is not and cannot be spinning and you should be able to put the transmission in any gear you want easily. Including reverse. Don't want to push it, but I still think that setting the pedal 2" off the floor is not right, and you are not disengaging the clutch fully.

Regards
Ed
