FINAL UPDATE HOPEFULLY
Everything seems to clear very well now. It's still very tight in there but so far nothing is touching. Had my wife push the pedal to the floor while i turned the motor by hand.
I took a measurement and the clutch from fully engaged to fully disengaged has a total travel of right around a 1/4 inch. Anyone know if this is within spec?

in my correspondence with ZFdoc, I was quoted 0.290" to 0.315" (which I believe would be for a completely stock set up ?) My Spec stage three plus came in at 0.220"; admittedly on the low side, but the clutch functioned perfectly...and as time went by, some of the inevitably entrained air bubbles in the slave cylinder may have worked their way upward and out of the slave cylinder (the factory claims these units are self bleeding,,,yeah, right)..so the final travel may actually have ended up being slightly more.
good luck and thanks from all who use this forum for your preserverance and willingness to share your hard earned knowledge ; that's a big two

Caleb, I am glad that everything worked out and that the ball-stud fixed this. Proper set-up is imperative.
As for the flywheel pics, what do the rest of the parts looks like. Clutch life is relative to so many factors including usage, power output and clutch stage, driving style, gear, tires, etc...
I don't feel like we were under the bus...in fact I think that we did everything we could to assist the customer and at the end of the day that is all we can do! Fault us if you like but realize that the clutch kit isn't the only factor responsible for proper clutch function.

To Jeremy,
Just so me and others know, I have a completely OEM dual mass flywheel and clutch. All is working just fine for now, but in the future when the clutch starts to age, Is there a complete flywheel and clutch package that will bolt right up and work without any problems? What would be that part number if you have it. Mine is a 92 vert 6spd all OEM, but soon to be a LT4 top end motor with a Hot cam.

My recommendation would be dependent on the nature of your clutch use. If the car is daily driven, even with the mods you reference, I would suggest the Stage 2 (SC422Z) and our heavy weight steel flywheel (SC05S-2) for great drivability and capacity. As long as you don't ride the clutch or slip it aggressively this would be a great set-up for you!

Sorry completely missed your post! Car isn't running yet. Getting a new MiniRam this week. Hope to have it up and running next month. I'll post up my review on the clutch though when i do!
