1993 EAGLE TALON

I have a 1993 non turbo FWD eagle talon with a clutch that is giving me alot of greif. I took my car to the transmission shop were the trans was rebuilt but now I can not get my clutch to work. The previous owenr had replaced the orginal clutch with an aftermarket high proformance one witch will not grab on the fly wheel. The clutch listed in parts manuals will not fit eather now. The clutch seems to be to far away from the fly wheel to grip so the fly wheel was shimmed but couldnt be shimmed forward enough to grab still. All this work is beeing done by professionals and they now have no clue what is wrong with the car eather. ( Pedal cluster, slaves, all hydrulic elemnts of the cluch have been replaced ) anyone got any ideas?

Does it have the original engine? If not, you may just need a really good clutch alignment. That is definetly a strange problem though. Is this still the original flywheel as well?

Finally. The talon is fixed
it took over 2 months of work but its done. I got a call right after I posted this that it was finished.
Just on note the flywheel was orginal but the previous owner had mickey mouse swapped other parts of the car so who knows what the clutch was out of.
