[QUOTE="serper3, post: 10858720, member: 92912"] the input shaft was shimmed according to what i have read on here.. less than .002 inches of shaft play. i did this. i was wondering if though some side to side play is normal. i know that when measuring play, the play of concern is the shaft moving in and out of the transmission. this shaft play needs to be less than .002. i just want to make sure that very slight side to side movement is ok since my input shaft is moving in this fashion. i am assuming its ok because i read that the pilot bearings job is to keep the input shaft still. i have the adjustable pivot ball, but was under the impression from what i have read, the pivot ball height needs to be decreased by approximately 3-4 mm. as far as the firewall adjuster, it seems like the consensus to leave no slack and have some preload like the car comes from the factory per 04sleeper and others. i better re explain. i was having issues on my old setup. this was some flywheel, i think this flywheel was not stock it weighed about 20ish punds and the centerforce clutch. this issue of locking out of gear that i had was with the old 10 spline etc. outlined in post 1. i am now in the middle of the install of all the parts. the 26 spline is already in, the new fidanza alunimum flywheel is in, the part i am at now is the floater plate seems to be too tight on the flywheel, once i torqued the floater plate down to the flywheel the bottom clutch disk is not free spinning. the .020 - .025 inch gap that is supposed to be present is not their. i am assuming at .020-.025 between the friction material and the floater plate itself is what i am checking for? i am not sure why its too tight, it doesnt seem bent because it seems pretty consistently too tight... i also used the pins that came with the flywheel to help mount the floater plate. the clutch came with pins that on one side were the same size as the pins that the flywheel came wiht, but on the other side they were flared out to a larger diamter. i guess that this does not get used with my clutch? i read another members post who said this his bottom plate was too tight, he ended up getting his clutch installed, and then he had to pull it apart. he didnt say what happened afterwords or what the fix was. i really dont want to cause any damage or have to take the trans out again if i can help it. sorry for the long read guys, hopefully i will get this resolved..
