Do you need that gold plate?The reason I'm asking is I bolted a 5.3 to t56 6 speed and having problems with the motor is really hard to turn over.So I loosened the bolts on the 6 speed and it moves freely now and the 5.3 cranks right up.Just wondering if anyone else has had that problem.I know i;ll have to remove the tranny and see what the hell is going on.Any help would greatley be appreciated.Mike

yes you need to use it for spacing, you are crushing your pilot bearing by not using the plate.
