i think its my pilot bearing not far enough back

Pull the trans back and look in the splines of the clutch and use the supplied tool again. If you stil think its a manufacturing issue take a small measuring tape and measure the depth of the splines TO the pilot bearing. Then just measure your trans input shaft to see if everything jives or not. This is also part of the reason I do not wipe off an input shaft as it allows you to see where the old one sat to make dead sure everything is right.
