Hi J,
The T/O bearing needs at least .100" clearance to the fingers with the slave piston fully retracted. The reason it needs clearance is so when the clutch disc wears, the fingers rise and if the fingers are already in contact with the T/O bearing the clutch will slip under load causing the clutch to fail because of never fully engaging.
Call me with any questions.
