Does this clutchfork position look correct? The throwout bearing is also touching the clutch. Someone told be the clutchfork should be almost parallel to the housing.

Thanks

The fork looks to far forward to me. I talked to Centerforce a few weeks ago about my setup and was told that with the throwout bearing touching the clutch the fork should be centered( no more then that) in the opening. I have a stock housing and non adjusting stud and mine is centered in the opening. Hope this helps.

How did you install the throw-out brg on the fork? The fork has spring steel tangs on it, but it's not for clipping in the brg (ask me how I know this ) As long as the bearing & fork are in correctly, I don't see a problem with it.

Looking good too

This ins't the sent up, nor is the for the same but will give you an idea of how the throwout bearing is positioned. The bearing is at the very end of the fork between the two "springs". The one pictured is out of alignment with the spindle hole. My TB is more over to the right in that picture. The bearing was aligned with the spindle hole.

Maybe I have the wrong ball-stud? The guy I bought this bellhousing, fork and stud said it all came from an old Vette.

Isn't this fun??

It looks like the bearing is clipped in - that's what you don't want to do.
The clips are the to take up the void between the fork and the rear of the brg.

If you look at it, if you were to engage the clutch, all of the weight will be on the clips (at least until they break)

Looks like I'll be tearing that apart again.

I did a drawing of how it should go. The top image is correct, the bottom is wrong

Great drawing. I get it now. Here's a pic, a little fuzzy but I think I corrected the TB position.



Here's a couple pics after I reassembled everything.
Let me know what you think now.
