A lot of people were having trouble with the collar being backwards and the spline protruding on the opposite side from the stock clutch. Sometimes people were installing them backwards by accident because of this. Did you have that problem at all? I have been looking for a clutch for my 65 and was only looking for the Rhinopac 04-528 because it sounded like that was the only one that didn’t have that problem and actually fit.

I’m just wondering what this was like for you, because if it all works and lines up then I have a solution for my own problem, but it also might be contributing to your troubles if it was not something you had been aware of.

Let me know how it all fit together for you.
I may have the wrong clutch in there. I've found some little things that were off, like the z-bar was a little bit out of where it needed to be, and the clutch fork ball stud was a little bent, but I think it may be the issue in the thread you shared.

I'm going to mail my original clutch to the Brake & Clutch Supply in Bruceville, TX (254-752-4307). He says he's refaced a number of clutches for these GMC V6's. We'll see how it goes!

Thanks for responding!
