Not laughing. Been there done that.
We used to say there were. Two types of guys working on LBCs, those

Yes you can put the disc in backwards and if you do the clutch won't
disengage.
Before you pull the trany is the there wear on the pedal or clutch
lever that is introducing slop into the system?
Good luck
