, Yes, the "nose" (I meant to say). some light lube on the spline helps a lot with the spline gliding thru the friction disc. Anywayz, something is not right, if the throwout bearing bushing is .02 smaller than the tranny nose, "fer sher". I bought my clutch "kit" from Mid America, and had no problems.

More like thin aluminum gaskets; one between the the block and the clutch housing, and one between the housing and the transmission. There were several references to them and the importance of them being clean, etc to assure the clutch housing and transmission surfaces are perpendicular with the driveline axis. (The Helms manual refers to them in several places - with respect to the '95 LT1/LT5s). I know I had kinked one and ended up having to hammer it out for things to fit right.
