First of all Shawn, I feel your pain. The process of getting these things right can really make you question your sanity.

I've used the same bellhousing through all of my different transmissions...toploader, Jerico and now G-Force. The last time I put everything together, I ran into the same problem you are having and had to use two shims on the throwout bearing, which solved the issue. I'm using the McLeod adj. throwout bearing.

Hope this helps...and don't consider just playing golf like everyone else!
