I have the Mcleod 500 series single clutch behind my hemi with a Hays blow shield. With the throw out bearing in the fork and the fork even across the blowshield I have about a 1 1/2" gap between the bearing and the fingers of the pressure plate. If I move the fork backwards (to the rear of the car) it will take up the slack, but then my clutch adjustment rod is way too short. I suppose I could use an A-body rod with is about 4 inches longer, but does the space behind the bearing seem right?

I called Mcleod and they seem to think the fingers on the pressure plate are indexed wrong. They are nice enough to let me send it back for another but I am not sure that is the problem?
