Need Help W/ Trans Spacer?????

[Clois Harlan]

Nothing is ever easy that is worth while...Right?

I Rec'd my New Gen II McLeod Hyd T/O brg yesterday and while setting all my gaps I find my tolerances have changed.

So here is what I have done:

Replaced my standard steel flywheel w/ new McLeod Aluminium flywheel w/ steel insert.

Replaced clutch w/ new Performance Hays Clutch

Replaced pressure plate w/ new McLeod Performance press plate

Here are my new dimensions:

Clutch fingers to the outside face of my bellhousing = 2.900

Face of T/O brg to face of trans + 3.020 (adj all the way in)

Problem is I need a gap of .100 between clutch fingers and T/O brg which means my distance between my brg and my trans cannot be anymore than 2.800. This means I need to either use a spacer between my bellhousing and engine or my bellhousing and my transmission of at least 0.220. As you know this is almost a 1/4 of an inch and this seems like an extremely large gap to make up. Has anyone delt with this problem before?


Comments or suggestions please!
