[QUOTE="GapRider, post: 16154955, member: 158174"] Without a spacer at all, some guys have blown out the throwout bearing while many have not. The correct method is to measure and determine if and how much a spacer is required. Measurements show that without the spacer, you are operating the throwout bearing at the very end of it's stroke. In this case, it was a little over 1/2" spacer to get it to the middle of it's range. Same with the 3" hole in the starter plate, I was told "that don't matter, we've done hundreds of these kits". Either you know that's wrong, or you research and find out it's wrong. This thread has been about weeding through the tribal knowledge and finding out the engineering truth because I don't leave stuff up to chance, I find out. [/QUOTE]
