Good afternoon Mark,

Actually, it may be a problem for you.
The retainer with the shorter sleeve uses a release brg. assy. that is a little longer.
The short sleeve used with the short release brg. can bind at full release of the clutch and sometimes cause real problems.
I would look for the longer retainer or the longer release brg. assy. to go with the short retainer.
I have the right stuff around here and if I find it I will snap a pic for you.
Then I'll mail the whole ball of wax to you. (If I can find it)

There might be one closer to you, but I'll look for my parts just in case.

Les
