In mainsails directions he says not to hit the shaft towards the transmission when it is connected to the transmission, but in #4 he stated that you have to tap it home with a rubber mallet in order to get the shaft into the coupling. Is this a conflict and if not do I have to worry because I have a split coupling.





What brand of split coupling do you have?

Don't tap on the output shaft of the transmission, in or out. That can damage the bearings. It's ok to tap the coupling onto the shaft, but don't beat on it. With a split coupling you can probably get out all the way on without much force.
