1 1/16" is not close enough to 1" to work. Your clutch disc should engage the splines and move back and forth effortlessly, but it should not be loose. You shouldn't be able to wiggle it or move it up/down. Always test the disc on the input shaft splines before you put it together. You want effortless back and forth movement on the splines, but no slop.
