[Spridgets] pinking problem - actually clutch??

[Marc]

To make a long story mercifully short: Midget with very worn 
transmission, got rebuilt unit, installed it along with new clutch & 
pressure plate, throwout bearing, slave cyl & hose. Clutch won't 
disengage. Replace with original clutch and pressure plate (which turned 
out to have been fairly recent). Clutch then works, but throwout bearing 
smokes. Shorten pushrod, problem seemed solved. Except for rattling 
noises...

Were clutch parts mixed and match and wound up differently from what was originally engineered to work together?  This is probably a stupid question but  . . . wouldn't it have been easier to use what parts are supposed to go together?
