[QUOTE="SilverGT1, post: 16436482, member: 186800"] 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. [ATTACH=full]1646096[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1646097[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1646098[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
