The new drive plate assembly I received was the "flex" style for the quietline series, along with new rubber engine mounts. I first installed the driveplate and new clutch assembly WITHOUT the pilot bearing, and at full speed the driveshaft was all over the place and sounded like a piece of re-bar being fed through a tablesaw!!! Anyway, I realized the driveplate needed a pilot bearing and "should" have compared the new parts to the old parts before installation. I didn't. Anyway, I have ordered the new pilot bearing assembly, but I screwed up and pressed it through the new drive plate assembly and then pressed it into the engine recess. It is working fine, however, I don't think it is together correctly, as I feel the drive plate should be free and separate and not "sandwiched" between the bearing and where the bearing goes into the engine fan where the 4 bolts attach the drive plate. I just want to remove the assembly without destroying the new $120 drive plate assembly, and install things properly.
Thanks.

HERE is the deal, if you in fact have a model 1000 then you have a Quiet Line, not a Wide Frame.
I have no idea what an "800 series" is.
If you have the "flex style 3 pin driver", then you have the correct one for your machine.
I believe you should download a service manual for your machine and put it together as directed by said manual.
