Clutch Engaging Too Low (Looking for suggestions)

[Jwpete]

Issue is finally resolved. Pulled the trans back out and re-torqued the pressure plate. Turns out I babied those bolts since I didn't have a torque wrench and they were not tightened enough and the pressure plate was not clamped all the way down against the flywheel which I guess gave me too little pre-load on the clutch spring. Anyway, picked up a correctly rated torque wrench, torqued the bolts all to spec, put everything back together and now the clutch engagement point is like 3" off the floor instead of on the floor. Hopefully my auto parts store parts hold up and I don't have to pull that trans again for some time.

YOUR FIX WORKS!!! I replaced clutch fork, clutch fork pivot ball and the throw out bearing to no success but after implementing your fix it worked as normal. I assume my non oem flywheel or in your case machined flywheel had different offset/ tolerances than oem causing spacing to be messed up. I followed your suggestion of adding 1/8 washers and it works now. You could get away with up to 1/4 washers but that seemed unnecessary for my needs.
