Just did a little online research. Look like depending on the year of trans/transfer, you may need a 7/8”- 1” thick spacer.First thing to do is measure the distance from the spacer outer flange to the end of the t/c input snout. Then run a straight edge across the trans, and using a thin rod measure the depth alongside the splined output into the trans. If there’s adequate clearance there perform a similar check except for the t/c bearing retainer vs trans end housing. Something will be off. I’m assuming you checked the depth of the t/c input compared to the length of the trans output already? You have to go by spline depth on the input as I don’t think they are cut all the way to the bottom.
I forget, were these together previously? Can you measure the shaft length and the female spline on the Tcase? Did you lubricate the seal?

Is any part of the Dana 300 shifter stuff contacting the transmission case

Not trying to be a smarta$$, just may save you some searching...Yeah. I think 1”. I checked the depth of mine and it is 3/4”. So a 7/8” will still leave a small gap. I will look for a 1”.

If yours is 3/4" wouldn't 7/8" give you 1/8" clearance vs. 1/4" clearance of the 1"
Just get another 3/4” ring and make sure to seal it all up.I just measured the distance from the t-case to the transmission. 1 and 1/4 inches. So the clocking ring I have is 3/4. Leaving 1/2” gap. So now to see if they make a 1 and 1/2” clocking ring.

Okay, I reread the original post I quoted and then went back to look at the pics you had previously posted...I will take any assistance. Much appreciated. The way I see it, a 7/8 would cut down my gap by 1/8”. Right? Leaving me with 3/8” gap instead of the 1/2” I have now. I want 0” of gap, right?
Hmm, don’t like losing the front seal but a sealed bearing isn’t a bad thing. Not quite as good as a splash lubricated bearing but almost. Probably a better solution than stacking spacers.I went to advance adapters website and they say a new thinner retaining ring is required. I guess that brings in the overall length of the input shaft? I will call on Monday and ask. Oh, and modification is still needed. Hmmmm
