If you don't find one let me know. I can probably get one out of a tranny case I've got.

Thanks do the replies sorry it's been awake since I replied it's been a hectic week my cousin ended up havin one out of luck I do have one more question though I just had a valair organic 400 horse clutch put in and now that I finnaly got it back today I noticed that the clutch pedal is real easy and when my foot is of the clutch a noise comes from the tranny.... Is that normal with that type of clutch or no? If not what could it be? I plan on bringing it back to where it was installed tomorrow after I get outta school but it just don't seem right to me... Tranny was overhauled mabe a year and a Half ago with new input shaft and now the new clutch.... Any thoughts? Thanks!

Ok so it might be just me being paranoid that something is wrong but I noticed tonight while driving home only the 2nd time I've drivin it since the install that the noise that I'm hearing while driving goes away after I push the clutch in just a little bit.... But the clutch is still engaged cause I can accelerate still..... And it goes away while coasting.... It sounds like 2 pieces of paper rubbing together.... Is it still gear rollover or does this sound like something different? Again sorry for freaking out I just can't have my truck down anymore!

Hey i have the same exact issue goin on, its somethin to do with the throw out bearing. And my clutch is also very easy to depress nothing like my other psd. If I barely depress the clutch it goes away. I hate the thought of pullin the tranny but I will to figure out the noise. Ill try to stay in touch.

The clutch is easy because the throwout is greased. It will get stiffer eventually.
