Thank you guys so much for replies..
Dale-yes you are loud and clear...starting to make sense to me now...
And Denny - I think U r right as well...the old disc was worn smooth...down the rivets....so far so good with the new kit...no grinding, resistance or chatter...just feels wierd...and judging by all the reponses I will have to be the one who adjusts to it...
I had put in clutch cables before...but never got this deep into it...and the surgery has changed the trucks reaction...
The gears engage at approxamately 3 inches from the floor...used to be 5 or 6...and I thought that was correct!
You guys are awsome...tell me more....
