My question is how much distance should there be between the disc when the clutch pedal is pushed in and the flywheel? I only have approximately .060 and this doesn't seem like it's enough, but then again I didn't measure my Saginaw clutch before I took it out. Keep in mind that the pedal is fully pressed to the floor. I left about 1/8" gap between the clutch fork and the t.o. bearing before it makes contact.
Some background:
I'm installing a T-5 into my truck behind my I6 and am using a 1985 Camaro T-5. I got the Borg Warner clutch pack #90160 which is for a 1985 Camaro to match the splines on the transmission. The thickness is the same as the clutch for what I had on there which was a 1970 Saginaw- both 1-1/8".
The pic below is taken from underneath the truck looking up and shows the gap. (approx. .060)
A related question is, before I installed the transmission I could shift into all the gears but now I can only shift into one gear and neutral. It seems that this is odd and I'm not sure if that's related to the clutch or if I just need to readjust the travel on the stock shifter as a result of it's new home in the truck.
