    There is some information on the correct angle of the clutch fork coming out of the bell housing.
    Being aware and getting this right will save you pulling the trans and changing out the pivot bolt. Yes, one of those, ask me how I know.
    If the fork is too far forward on the outer end, it is possible the fork will hit the pressure plate. Not a good sound with the engine running.
    After you get this angle right, you should be able to trim the push rod the right length.

    I think you can actuate the clutch fork with a large adjustable wrench, used as an extension on the fork.

    Someone will know more specifics on the angle and probably able to pop a pic up.

    This is a pic of the wrong angle. I had to change from a 1.5" to 2.0" pivot bolt.
