Yeah I put one in. It's held in with wire clips, which I remember because it took me a minute to grok how they were supposed to work. Seemed to be the right style.

Anyone have any insight into this? I remember when I did Bridget's new clutch I had to omit a part of the new TOb that was made to fit both old and new style transaxles. Did that on the second try....

This trans is the old style so I figured I was OK...

Edit:

But of course the pressure plate is different. The pressure plate. The plate that came with the engine is late style, fingers, no collar. See below, circa 2:30

—which means the TOb can't reach it. CAN'T WORK. GODDAMMIT!

So that means I have to either

1. replace the clutch, or

2. buy and install a late-model conversion/upgrade trans seal/collar kit

either of which requires the whole friggin thing to come back apart.
