So I have a Issue with the Trans & Motor fitting together due to the fact the Sleeve wont slide into the Clutch Release Ring, What can I do to Fix this Issue? Can I bore out the Release ring so it fits over the sleeve? Or will that cause balance issues??? Any Help Would Be Mucho Appreciated....
Thanks

Remove the ring alltogether, the ring is for early trans only

if you have a sleeve you do not need the ring on the pressure plate. It is removable on the Kennedy clutches.

What about the springs that hold the ring onto the clutch?

In that case the thingy is held on by the little springs, you can just pull them back and remove the plate.....easy, now it is converted to fit late models!
