T45 vs T56 clutch fork

I did a T56 in my 96 cobra and used the clutch fork and dust shield from my T45. I noticed it was rubbing and making noise. My question is are the clutch forks the same size or do I need a T56 clutch fork?

Which part is rubbing? I had to remove the weight from my fork; it was rubbing on the pressure plate when I would push the pedal in.

The end of the fork against the dust shield. It was making a terrible grinding / whining noise until I took it off. I looked up a replacement dust shield and they are all the same for 94-04 (according to LMR)

I would just grind down what's needed for clearance and call it done.

I already beat it out some to try and create some clearance, I'm thinking the t56 fork is shorter.

Got under to check it out again and you can pop the clutch fork off the pivot ball without any force. I plan on dropping the trans and replacing the pivot ball and putting a new throwout bearing in it. Think that will cure everything?
