2003 GT
T56
McLeod RXT
McLeod Lightened Steel FW
Stock fork
Stock Pivot Stud
I did a T56 swap. The transmission came with an McLeod RXT. It is installed and working properly. However, I have clutch pedal releasing at the top of the stroke. I want this closer to the bottom / stock release point.
I have read post after post about this issue (now that I have the issue, wasn't aware before install). I can't get my head around how shortening the pivot stud addresses this problem. Anyway, have read that you want the clutch fork near the middle of the opening and possibly a few degrees toward the back from center.
Opening measures ~4.5" (looks smaller measured in picture)
Leading edge of fork now measures ~2.625"
Am I shooting for the leading edge of the fork to be somewhere around 2.25"?
Does adjustment of the pivot stud = 1:1 in distance change? Do I run the pivot in 0.375" (9.53mm) and get a 0.375" change at the opening? Seems like a whole lot compared to the 0.160" (4mm) - 0.200" (5mm) that others are posting.
Trying to get a real good understanding so I only have to drop the trans one more time. With my torque arm installed, it is a pain in the butt.
