Thanks, IC2! The difference is really small, maybe 1/16" or less with only one of the fingers. I guess I'll leave it. Going to look at the machine work necessary this morning in the bright of daylight (and clear head!). Also concerned about the tranny being moved about 5/8" rearward. This pulls it away from the pressure plate, making clutch adjustment even more difficult. Still may have to revise clutch actuation, maybe hydraulic is the answer.
