Folks, my request seems to have been upstaged by the copyright infringement
thread. Either that or no one has a clue about my problem. Dave Ewing
rabbit16v@prodigy.net did ask the question "Is the oil pump installed?" My
response was "No, however I did "dry fit" it. I could not see how the pump
would hold the play out of the intermediate shaft unless it was particularly
tight. And if it were tight, it wouldn't be for long".

So, do any of you 90%+ people have any ideas?
