No clutch free play Options

[SWH]

I have rebuilt my 2.0L and am down to mating trans to motor. When I did this I noticed I have no free play in the t/o bearing arm. I have measured and does not appear to be pressing the pressure plate fingers but is on them. Is that acceptable? I expected to have some level of free movement in the arm. Is there something else I can check? Flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate and Throwout bearing are all new. Crank, flywheel and pressure plate was balanced at machine shop. Except for the flywheel that was completely shot all measurements on new parts match old parts except slight wear on disc.
Thanks,

Have you replaced all the wear parts for the clutch fork ?,I would not have thought you would have an issue with all new parts , is your pedal assembly in good condition ? ,mine was but the clevis was very worn and and the clutch pivot arm was all flogged out ,bad enough to need the hole welded up and redrilled....worth checking before you pull the box to shim the pivot ball ,cheers.
