I've seen this posted a few times, LS7 clutch install in a C5, FW is tq'd down, you go to install the disc and pressure plate........no go.
BH=Bell Housing
Take a look at the 3 pins on the FW, drive them further into the FW than how they are delivered(the holes don't go all the way through)
Full protrusion will still be there when you locate the pressure plate onto the 3 pins
Hopefully this will save someone time
Learned this trick from RoadRebel 6 years ago
LS7 vs LS2/3 clutch? I haven't verified it, but aren't the part numbers the same? (LS9 is a different animal)
