An excellent point!   The difference is down to having a Dash-1 versus 
Dash-2 gearbox.   The clutches are NOT the same!!!

If you install a large-spline clutch disc on a small-spline gearbox, things 
could get interesting in a hurry!

Definitely check the fit of the disc on the gearbox splines, and if Jack 
has found your problem, you owe him a beer!!! :>)
