Since I don't sell these kits I'm not stepping on any toes here.
This problems is being resolved right now and all the kits that are ordered from today on will have this fix.
Ouch! I ordered one a stage 4 for a 6spd awhile back and ordered one for my g/fs 5spd truck last week!! So now what? Do I need to make sure the clearances on c1-c4 are at factory specs before installing the trans? Going to pass the word on to my builder so he knows to keep a eye out!

As Mike stated when you rebuild any transmission checking clutch pack clearance is a must

He's not much of a builder if he didn't catch the problem.
