See if you guys can figure this out....

Clutch disk is rubbing on the stub that the throwout bearing rides on???

It is barely touching it and when you push in the clutch is boggs down the motor and makes it quit?

There aren't spacers behind the flywheel or anything of automatic sorts.
The tranny/starter spacer is on there.
The disk isn't backwards either.
Its like the crank is longer and the clutch is to far in the bell housing????
Also the motor is a 6 bolt 2.3 Stroker the clutch is a stage 4 comp clutch. Thanks
 
No I don't I may be able to get some from my mechanic. Comp. Clutch ask if the fork had been replaced, but I don't think that would have caused this problem.
 
I would say a lot more details are needed to diagnois this problem. Perhaps remove the transmission double check to make sure your dowel pins are in (wouldn't likely cause these symptoms) and see if there is any in/out movement on the crankshaft
 
I guess I forgot to update here. The bottom end is toast. The guy sold me a jacked bottom end, I guess I'll keep the built head and either get a new crank and rods or just buy a short block from maperformance. At least I can trust them
