Nadine:

you would have to bolt it down with a the disk installed. I am going measure mine this weekend. This can give us a baseline so that we know what is correct for our cars.

I found something very interesting and bothersome. I had four throwout bearings (from previous clutch changes). I measured the length between the contact surfaces, three measured identical at 2.161 and the fourth was 2.064. That is scary since there is not a great amount of travel to begin with.
