Looking to see if anyone else has seen this problem and has suggestions. This is a full restoration of a 1969 Camaro Z/28. Engine rebuild (DZ), shifter rebuild (Hurst Competition Plus). New clutch, pressure plate, GM clutch fork (GM part number 3892632), throwout bearing. Verified the following are all correct: clutch fork pivot ball (short one), adjusting rod, bell crank, clutch pedal, upper clutch push rod.
The problem is that there is not enough travel in the clutch pedal. There should be play at the top of the clutch pedal travel (foot off the pedal to engagement of the throwout bearing) and play at the bottom of travel (pedal pushed to the floor) before the clutch engages. The best I can get is no play at the top of travel (i.e., throwout bearing is against pressure plate fingers) and the clutch begins to engage at the floor. Seems like pressing the clutch pedal does not pivot the clutch fork enough. Any ideas?
