    I just spent the last 30 hrs. under my truck to replace my tranny in my Dump truck now I cant get the PTO to engage all it does it grind like when you try to put it in and the clutch is not depressed I swapped out a 14608LL with a 14608LL is there something I overlooked I need to have it running for tomorrow night for paving.

    They make spacers for that, must be proper clearance, and each one seems to be different, I have seen some take quite a few spacers, (really thin shims shaped like the gasket).

    take the 4 bolt shifter cover off the pto BEFORE you install the pto gear box to the transmission. once you bolt the pto to the tranny, check the gear lash on the transmission gear that drives the pto. as long as you have a small amount of play your fine. it may take a few gaskets stacked up to get it, or just once thin gasket to get it. once you get the clearance right, then you can install the pto 4 bolt shifter cover and refill with oil.
