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.
