Did you compare it to the old one?
You never did state how much pedal freeplay you have.
You want 1-1 1/4 inch. NO more-No less. The freeplay decreases, as the clutch plate wears.

I'll have to check the freeplay. I wanna say it's about 2 inches. I didn't realize there were two different size throwout bearings so I did

Adjust the freeplay to what I posted.
See what that does to 'fix' things.
Too much FP like what you have, will cause the clutch disc to not fully disengage from the flywheel.

Free play actually increases as the clutch plates wear.
Best to install the Rugged Ridge linkage kit like I did. Has heim joints so no more wear out spots in the linkage. Clutch is a lot easier to push now too. Works like butta'. Click below for more details.

Incorrect-As the friction disc wears(get's thinner)the fingers or springs on the pressure plate will rise, as the P'plate moves closer the flywheel.
The rise in the fingers/springs reduces the clearance of the T/O bearing to the pressure plate.
Good to hear it's working well!

Take your T/O with you, as there are different height T/O's that will look like they're work/fit but do not.

Is there a certain motor/Transmission combo that dictates which one it should be, or did they just put whatever they had in?

Yes-The combo dictates what's used-
There's a difference in the height of the T/O, is all.
LG
In that case I would have to assume that they gave me the right one when I ordered the clutch kit since they asked which motor and Transmission it had.

The best way to confirm fitment, is to check the parts you're replacing against the parts you just bought to replace'em.
