checked the new clutch out... and from how the SBC labeled it.. i did not put it in wrong the first time... the hat/hub is pointed towards the flywheel on the ceramic material side... which i was told by many that the had/hub should go towards the pressure plate... but i put it back how it was labeled....

as for why it failed... well... i made an oops that may have led to its demise... i didnt happen to notice that when I pulled the ATX... that the tranny guide pins were stuck in the tranny and not the block... so the actual failure was most likely caused by tranny mis-alignment due to lack of guide pins.... which SBC said is the most likely cause aswell.

anyways... fixed that and the tranny is back in... will get it buttoned up this saturday and have it back on the road...

thanks again
