Turns out, the flywheel machining meant the pivot ball needed to be replaced with an adjustible pivot. The CF clutch I chose was .250 shorter than my earlier Ram clutch so I ended up using a McLoed adjustible height throwout bearing to make up the difference. I also used adjustible dowel pins to dial in my bellhousing to .001 (which took forever BTW) but my trans now goes in like butter and shifts like it too.

You know I never thought about that and next time I,m gonna measure the flywheel thickness before its machined then compare.
