So I pulled the transmission out and measured for the TOB again.
I came up with 3.08" from face of bell to high point of the clutch fingers.
The TOB on the spline compressed measured 2.47" from the bearing face to the mounting face on TKO so that left a delta of .610". I originally had only three concial spacers which are .100". I added another one which gave me a total of .400" or a .210" gap. The Classic Motorsports instructions indicate it must be a min of .125" gap to max of .225". Put the trans back. I now have a clutch feel. I pulled it out under it's own power which was cool, but the thing does not go into any gear easy running or not running. I did some searches and seems Tremec had some issues a few years back with shifter lug tolerances. I don't know if that is the issue or not or not but IIRC I bought mine back in 07. I was thinking clutch engagement is still off but don't know yet. I seem to recall trying to shifting it on the floor out the car a long time back and thinking it was harsh and not defined.
Here is a vid of the drive. I spliced it together to make it shorter
I have no exhaust or seats mounted yet...just a wooden stand for a seat
