Ask Me,

Hello everyone. I am trying to create one thread since I know that I am going to need to install all of this stuff on my own and don't want to create mutliple posts.
The VFAQ was pretty helpful in tearing it all down but kind of stopped when it came time to put it back together.
I guess it didn't count on folks not having a photographic memory and/or having their vehicle down for many months and unable to remember what they did.
Besides, I am going from a Twin Disc Setup to a Single Disc setup so while it is probably easier to figure out I just want to ask lots of questions to avoid having to drop the tranny again which it looks like plenty of posters end up doing.
I really want to get this right the first time.
Anyways I will start off with this.
1) Is the Flywheel install supposed to be self explanatory? I put the friction side away from the Engine and there was a hole from the crank dowel that seems to have made it impossible.
2) There is a spacer of some sort that is held in by the flywheel bolts. I put the spacer on the away from the engine side since it didn't have a slot for the crank dowel. I guess this is right?
3) I have read that spacer can be different sizes and I am concerned that the wrong one could have been in there since a PTT clutch was in there before and some of the parts were different e.g. 7 bolt flywheel bolts instead of 6 bolt flywheel bolts. If the spacer is the wrong thickness could I have a problem?
4) How is the pressure plate oriented to the flywheel? I don't want balance problems. I just turned it and turned it until all of the dowels from the flywheel lined up etc but I don't know if it can go multiple ways. There is a weight on the pressure plate as well which has me worried.
5) How on earth does the TOB go on and when does it go on? When I pulled the tranny, it was sitting on some clip on the tranny.
6) Which direction does the clutch disc face? There is a part where the hub points outward and I have faced it away from the engine so far.
Not so sure why I see so many people needing to pull the tranny after doing a clutch install. I certainly don't want to be statistic.
Any other pointers that might have me not pulling the tranny again when I am done?
Thank you for your time.
