There are 2 different type clutches used in these trucks. The TO brg length must match the old one. When replaceing a clutch be sure & get the kit with a matching TO brg. The old style clutch that used the long brg. is generally replaced with the newer style.
The floating feature is on some with the short brg. The surface that contacts the fingers mooves around a little to center itself.
