Good question! I removed the transmission and verified the disc flat side is toward the flywheel. I don't have a clue!Question that may or may not have anything to do with your issue. I know there is a short and tall throwout bearing for the GM stuff. Which one do you have?
I did not remove the pressure plate yet but from the pictures you can tell the flat side is next to the flywheel. Pivot is same size as old. The only difference is the TO that came with the kit is maybe an 1/8 smaller in diameter. Why is it not releasing?Good question! I removed the transmission and verified the disc flat side is toward the flywheel. I don't have a clue!
Here is what I ordered. It is the same as what I had before.
I did not use the throw out bearing that came with the kit. It is partial plastic. I used the OEM one.-ACDELCO Clutch Release Bearing. They looked the same size.Amazon.com: LuK 04-021 Clutch Set: Automotive

I found a site with some information. You are correct there is a short and tall throw out bearing. Also, there is a adjustable pivot ball. I was thinking maybe the pivot ball is too short. I am trying to locate the old one I removed. Also, I replaced the pivot ball so thinking maybe the pivot ball is too short. Wouldn't that make a difference how far the fork presses into the pressure plate.
That is the first thing I checked. Makes no sense. It was working fine other than the TO issue. I don't understand how but do you think the LUK TO would make a difference? Do I need to remove the pressure plate and reinstall? Don't know what else to do! Could the new pressure plate be defective?With the info you have given I am kinda stumped. 1 more dumb question. Is there fluid in the transmission?
yea you need to red loctight all the bolts. little diesel will shake them loose if you dont. Napa has that dowel.
Great! It will take two for it to arrive from Canada. I will check with them Saturday. Most likely closed tomorrow... I red loctight them. I think I received the wrong bolts. Either they bottomed out or the flywheel hit the bolt heads. The new plate bolt holes are countersunk which is what the original plate should have been.yea you need to red loctight all the bolts. little diesel will shake them loose if you dont.

Something I did not know since I don't install transmissions for a living is there should be two dowel pins. On the original adapter I received there is only one. It is located in the top left corner driver side. According the NV3500 specs, there should be two dowel pins.Great! It will take two for it to arrive from Canada. I will check with them Saturday.

I have the stock turbo and manifold. I have already talked to them. On the the new plate they provide one port for a starter. My previous plate had two and I used the lower port which was perfect. He said no was using the lower port. I can't see why they would delete the lower port. How much money are they saving? My machinist was going to add the port but if you look at the new plate, they added an extra hole near where the second port exist which is where the start bolt goes.. He thought we might warp the plate by filling in the hole so we could tap a hole for the starter to mount. Northwest are redesigning the plate and adding 1/2 inch bolts instead of 3/8. I don't know what else they are adding.you have a stock turbo and manifold? Call northwest and let them know. Send them a pic of your old adapter plate. thats to close.
Pickle Rick says the BHW manifold will work. What do you think? I gotta come up with something, No way the starter will last that close to the starter?I have the stock turbo and manifold.
