I'm pretty sure the clutch disc is in properly. I was holding it by the hub as I put the alignment tool through it and into the pilot bearing and flat against the flywheel. the tick tick tick went away after playing with the clutch adjustment some shortly after the first run.
could just be in my mind that it doesn't feel like I remember; it's been a couple of months since I've driven the truck and have since changed DD vehicles, as well, also with a manual transmission.
seems to have a high engagement but lower release, if that makes any sense?
