    Clutch & Pivot Setup?

    Can anyone offer some pointers on the proper way to setup the pivot ball & clutch fork? I have an adjustable cable, firewall adjuster, extended fork, lakewood bellhousing & a spec stg. II clutch/PP.

    I think I have the pivot ball adjusted out too far at the moment. The arm is almost at the back of the window in the lakewood bellhousing. The TO bearing is riding against the fingers of the clutch. I want to see a slight gap between the TO bearing & the fingers of the clutch. Is there an airgap you should look for on disengagement?

    thanks,
    Mark Lowry

    I had to cut my lakewood bellhousing more towards the back of the car where the clutch fork comes thru to get it to work properly.

    If you would have shortened the pivot ball would have not had to.

    Chris,

    I should shorten the pivot ball height to bring the TOB just off of the clutch fingers right?
