sm465 T O bearing?

Ran into this on my old Jeep years ago.
New clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing.
Put it all together, would not disengage enough to shift right.
It would not drive off, but 1st ground, and 2nd and 3ard would not engage because of the syncros.
I adjusted it through the inspection plate, no luck.
Pulled it down, replaced the fork and pivot ball.
Nothing.
Finally noticed that it was unusually hard to get the transmission shaft in.

Tried just the disk on the splines, they were too tight. It was a reman clutch disk, and it looked like the hub had been hot and warped slightly.
Replaced the disk, and it all worked fine.

This clutch and tranny came out of a running/shifting rig. Clutch is new, not reman. New flywheel and bellhousing is all that's changed. My kids are visiting from kalifornia so I wasn't able to work on it this weekend as hoped. Now the rain is back so hopefully ill get some sun and hit it early morning one day this week.
