I'd be nervous about it too and do the same as you with another look.

yea evrything was located fine
 
  Found the problem!  split cases  again,  gears spun ok , put some weight ,pressing down on needle bearing end of input shaft [clutch]and it went tight ! thought it was faulty  needle bearing but it looked ok .
  i put the same  needle bearing on my original input shaft [which was un damaged]all is fine ! put the cases back and everything spins freely !!  maybe the shaft on the new transmission i got of ebay  is slightly bent , not sure

Definitely worth another look then.

At least you've now got it so you can feel confident and no nagging question as you start running it again.

All good.

just a quick update , got everything back together , no oil leaks , spent 2 days on timing /points !!!! looked thru old threads on timing . very helpful , anyway bike started 1st kick so it cant be far out , runs nice ,and the  gears are spot on ! only done about a mile though , still lots to do

I just wanted to say Thanks to everyone in this Thread that helped me out with Advice and pointers, links etc.

Massive help 300/400 miles later and it's better than it's ever been!
