Jay,
I have put the trans back in the truck minus the pressure plate. The clutch disc does indeed slide away from the flywheel. I had the Mrs. step down on the peddle while I watched it move away from the flywheel.
The through out bearing sits right up against the bearing retainer and it also touches the spring fingers in the clutch disk.

-picture- There isn't any play in between the trans and clutch disk, is this normal?
I'm going to take it all apart and completely put it back together.... More to follow.
