Ready to install my eng/gb. My crate ls3 came with the clutch installed and the tr6060 has the bell housing and htob installed already. The distance from the edge of the bell housing to the front of the htob is 82mm, but if I push back on the htob it goes back another 28mm under a spring tension. The distance from the back of the block to the clutch fingers is 108mm, so if I mate the trans to engine as it is, the htob will be pushed back 26mm under spring pressure and still have 2mm before it hits the front of the gb. So is it normal to have the htob touching the clutch fingers under spring pressure?

Additional question, do you still need to centre the bell housing with modern setups?
