Clutch Fork Adjustment Problem

You seem to be creating problems that don't exist. The clutch arm should be perpendicular to the transmission input shaft with the bearing against the clutch fingers. The arm at the bell housing opening doesn't move as much as the end does. Get rid of the aftermarket throwout bearing, use a genuine Ford bearing.

The problem is, with the standard bearing, (it came with the clutch package, don't know if it's OEM or not) the clutch fork arm is in the middle of the bell housing window and pointing forward some. The OEM Ford fork I have is curved and cants forward. if it was straight, then it would be more towards the rear of the bell housing window and wouldn't be an issue. As it is, if the tip of the fork arm moves, say, 1 1/8 inch, the arm will be nearly touching if not hitting the forward window edge. All the other pictures I see on the forums, the fork arm is towards the rear of the window. I'm trying to figure out why mine is not.
