I have a friend that is trying to install a new (used) transaxle in his car. He is telling me that he has A LOT of free travel in the clutch fork before he feel any resistance from the T/O bearing touching the fingers on the pressure plate.

He has 3 washers behind the clutch fork pivot ball right now.

What can cause significant travel of the clutch fork before resistance? The clutch has all new parts (pressure plate, disk and throw-out bearing). The only part that is not new is the cup washer in the clutch fork. He said there is only about 1/2" space between the fork and the clutch fork opening before it hits the case when trying to engage the clutch.

Thanks in advance!
