Tim...I don't remember which side the clutch disk faced and that why I was asking if there was a way to see which direction it faced without pulling the tranny back ?
I used the old clutch disk and the old pressure plate as they appeared to be good.
The throwout bearing was purchased from "chevy`s of the 40" vendor.
It was listed for a 53 Chevy. I presumed it was correct ?
I did measure it right up against the old one but maybe the old one was not correct for my truck ?
How would I tell if the throwout bearing is the right one for my truck ?
So I guess I have to pull the tranny again ????
