HI,

The clutch disc or fiction place hub should face the rear of the truck.

It could be that someone previously installed the wrong clutch disc. In some of the early clutches that I have replaced there are no springs on the clutch disc.

The newer style heavy duty clutch discs have the springs mounted in the center of the clutch disc to reduce torque surge.

You may need to change the clutch disc to the older style without the springs.

The clutch disc hub faces the rear of the truck.

Also, as stated above some one may have taken to much material off the flywheel face when resurfacing it.

Hope this helps...
