    Might want to check the mounts too. I think a broken motor or trans mount could cause rough engagement.

    That is money well spent. Nothing wrong with replacing those parts. They are all wear items that are cheap insurance and easy to replace when the trans is out. Not replacing those parts is simply stupid corner cutting and penny pinching that has no place in the trucking industry. Do it right, do it once!

    Have to agree. Perfectly reasonable to have replaced all of those parts, they are high wear items and inexpensive considering the scope of the repair.
