I had to purposely bend my throwout arm when I installed a 228mm clutch and new flywheel to get the additional travel needed. The throwout arm is made of ductile iron and can be bent with a few good whacks of a heavy hammer. If it bothers you, just bend it back. Support it between to pieces of hardwood at each end, use another piece of hardwood where you want to whack it, then hit the piece of hard wood with a heavy hammer.

towards the back... I know what you are thinking... I think... if it was bent forward... more travel... but no
