I'll take a look when I get there. The clutch is a McLeod and came w the trans. Are the bellhousings interchangeable? Would of much rather used the Muncie but couldn't find any parts for it like shifter cable brackets etc.

Indeed, and both will fit & work on the 2.8 with no issues. Ask me how I know.

I had the same problem with an Isuzu and McLeod ~15 years ago. My attempts to make it turn left useful marks on the inside of the Isuzu bell housing. I was able to grind off material from the transmission and some from the clutch cage to get the combo to work.

Thanks for the info. That's the only thing I can think right now it's the bellhousing contacting the pressure plate

I'd think grinding metal from the clutch would create an unbalanced situation, even if not felt in the drivetrain. Similar to an out of balanced tire.

Got it out today and it was def. The pressure plate contacting the flywheel see attached. Spins over nice and easy now. My question is does anyone know the correct McLeod clutch for an izuzu 5 speed? Or is the 4 speed Muncie bellhousing interchangeable and have the proper clearance ??

I did not have grinding like that on my Isuzu plus McLeod. The clearancing I needed to do was around the circumference of the clutch cover. The bolt heads on my cover look different and did not contact the transmission. I still have that clutch in my shop (I blew up 2nd gear on my Isuzu years ago). My McLeod clutch cover is 1-3/4" tall and has a diameter of 11-3/8". The number stamped on the cover is 24573141. You can see in image where I grinded some material from the edge. I also ground some from where those edges touched the transmission.

Thanks for your help. My pressure plate also has an 11 3/8" diameter but has a 1 7/8" sprung height. No casting number. You can see in the picture where the contact points where
