On a Tremec, the input shaft is just "clocked" when installed. That's why it's so easy for an end-user to install a short input shaft by himself. You literally pull the bearing retainer, turn the input shaft a little bit to a keyed position, then pull it out. It's not like a Toploader where you have to drop the countershaft to get the input out.

I've already reminded Jeff, but the bearing retainer goes on in one direction, as it has a feed hole in it that oils the input shaft bearing.
