[QUOTE="serper3, post: 10861669, member: 92912"] called mcleod today and spoke with a very helpfull man. i explained my issue off the first clutch disk, (one closest to flywheel) being sandwiched too tightly with the floater plate bolted down. first off, he told me to check to make sure the flywheel was completely flat. it was. he then told said that due to very slight manufacturing variances, the floater plate might need to be shimmed. he suggested adding as thin of a shim as possible until .025 inch feeler "just slips in" he said that .01" washer shim is what i needed for a 5/16ths hole. i ended up using 2 of these .01" washers on each floater strap bolt so, 6 total. cost me a couple bucks and that put me right at .027" just slipping in which should be good. he also said that the .032-.035 is also acceptable if no other washer combination is available. he said that its a bit better to go smaller since some of this excess material will be worn away quickly during the break in period. fortunately very close to my house i have a hardware store that specializes in fasteners and such so not sure how difficult otherwise it would be to get these washers as they are specifically shimming/spacing washers. the mcleod rep reccomended dorman. besides getting this all taken care off, getting the washers, measuring etc with work and all, all i had time for was to finish getting the clutch in, installing the bell housing and starter :( hoping to really get on it tomorrow and finish getting everything else installed!! here is a pic just for the hell of it!
