Yes, that's an excellent point that dawned on us even later last night. So we played around with some marker paint to confirm that it was the input tip and not the spline shoulder. We had enough room to take 3/16ths off of the tip and still have room between the shoulder and the pilot bushing. Once we reinstalled the modified shaft today, she mated up just perfectly.
