The forte' kit uses some 1" aluminum spacers and not only does that cause the clutch fork to get very close to the left collector (and occassionally bind) but it causes the driveshaft to have a slight downangle.
Anybody used thinner spacers or non-at all (like with a thiner trans mount)?
I get a squeak when rolling down the road in netrual (clutch in or out) and I think its the tailhousing bushing taking a beating).
Exhaust clearance could be better if the cross member was not 1" further down also.
