I have replaced my original trans in 1954 Chevy 1/2 ton with a 1992, Chevy S-10 five speed. I have a new speedometer to accommodate the electronic drive in the transmission. I went to Mongo's garage for some of my information. I shortened the imput shaft 3/8 inches and put the correct bearing in the engine for the imput bought at NAPA. I have a 10 inch clutch plate, stock size, with the stock pressure plate. I am having some problem with getting it in and out of gear. I read an article on Inliners about using a custom clutch plate from a 77 Vega that has a pushed out bearing to relieve such a problem for the 261 and this transmission. Do I need to put in a different plate with the Vega front bushing?
