Cause you guys are some strong ass mothers.... ;)

Nah, sounds like the TOB isn't actually pushing on the clutch at all.

I'm still confused as to what flywheel/clutch I REALLY need, hehe.

That's neat.. who would have known the 90 DSM woudl share the pressure plate with a D50...

I'm guessing that you're trying to use the D50 flywheel with a D50 clutch and a DSM pressure plate?

Why not just go with an aftermarket AWD clutch setup and use a DSM flywheel? Are you set on using the truck's flywheel? I'm slow, sorry.

OR you could ditch this turd and build a wideblock and use a starion clutch, flywheel and tranny and skip what is really 90% of the BS of the swap (as well as save yourself hundreds if you're already starting with a Starion that still has a good clutch, flywheel and transmission. OMG it would be so easy this way!!!)

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
