I am confused with this,

"But once I installed it and adjusted up the clutch the pedal does not depress at all"


what do you mean the pedal does not depress ?......... is it too stiff? or does the pedal go down to the floor with no resistance?


There are several different lengths (height) of throwout bearings, did you use the same size one you replaced?


Is it possible that the throwout bearing came off the shift fork, or the pin, during installation?

The clutch is all the way up. Everything is hook up correct as far as I know. I will find out when I look at it again. Not easy to see into the Lakewood bell housing.

The out bearing it has came with the clutch kit, and was ran with the OEM flywheel and stock bell housing before. I compared the stock and Lakewood bell housings for the pivot pin depth, but didn’t compare the OEM flywheel to the Billet flywheel thickness when I put it in. LOL..I am not sure where I even put the OEM flywheel, been working on this in between projects. The Billet flywheel is thinner, and apparently moved the flywheel too far forward and needs a longer adjustable pivot ball, or possibly the adjustable position throw out bearing. Hoping the adjustable pivot ball does the trick. Thanks Guys!

Cant you take the trans out, look through the input bearing retainer hole in the bell housing and see what's going on? Should almost be able to have someone slowly depress the clutch while you're under there.
