Sounds like you need a longer throwout bearing body for the throwout bearing, is your scattersheild a Hayes or Lakewood? If Hayes it is really old and may have been deisigned for one of the longer Mopar throwout bearings
I've seen three different lenghts on them
I've been working with MOPAR manual transmissions for a long time and maybe I've been working with my head in the sand, but I've never seen different lengths on throwout bearings. I know that there are 2 ID's.(23 spline and 18 spline). I have seen different length throwout bearings on GM applications though. If there is such a thing, can you pass on what applications to look for?
As far as the pivot in the bell housing.. If it is attached with 2 bolts like my Ansen, then yes, you can shim it, but make sure you go with longer bolts, but not too long as to have them protrude out and hit the face of the transmission..
