Hey guys, I need some help with a release fork/pivot shim issue I have run into.
I am working on reinstalling my transmission after my lost driveshaft incident. I have a new clutch release fork that I installed, and I noticed that when I stuck the transmission back on the engine, the fork doesn't have more than a few mm of free play before it hits the transmission housing. So I think hmmm and I pull it back apart. Then I think back to the last time I did this, I put in a new cup in the old throwout arm. At that time I noticed the ball cup stuck way out of the fork and I had to actually trim it down to fit. I thought it was weird but blamed Brad on giving me crap parts (just kidding Brad). I even took a picture, shown below. Attached image(s)

Keeping that in mind, I thought hmmmmmm maybe that has something to do with my problem. I got out the old clutch fork and pulled the cup out of it. Then I noticed something. The height of the cup in the fork was different between the old fork and the new one! Inside the fork there was a bunch of JB weld, and under the JB weld was a stack of washers!!!
Here is what I saw (f'ing DAPO!!!): Attached image(s)
