Lanse, The disk thingy is a friction disk, or driven disk. It is placed between the flywheel and the Pressure plate (the bell thing). The driven disk can go in wrong if the springs in the center (torsion springs) are placed on the flywheel side. This is because almost all clutches similar to yours follow that principle. If wrong, it will interfere with the bolts holding the FW to the crank. Centering the driven disk in the FW is very important when putting this together. A clutch alignment tool is best, it is the same as the input shaft for the trans, but is short, and often made of plastic. this tool fits the driven disk hub splines, and has a smaller tip that enters the pilot bearing in the center of the crank. (The pilot bearing should be lubed well now with chassis grease on your little finger. Just enough to make it coated, not packed in) If no centering tool is available, it is possible on some to carefully center the disk on the old wear marks, and tighten the Pressure plate down on it evenly. (tighten each bolt about two turns, then go to the next, drawing uniformly on the PP bolts till torqued to spec. Then check the centering again. If it is not centered, the engine will bend the Driven disk when it encounters the misaligned disk and pilot bearing. Leave the trans in high gear to allow turning the rear wheel to spin the splines a bit to align them. Never force the engine into the bellhousing. It must stab in there cleanly, and with little resistance. Long bolts for the bellhousing with the heads cut off placed in the holes can make getting things straight pretty easy. Keep us informed, and good luck. JimN
