Hey there, I installed this product on my car and started having issues with engagement. So i pulled everything back apart and measured the throwout bearing under no pressure and then again with the clutch fully depressed. I'm getting a total of ~0.400" of travel.

Per McLeod, it should travel 0.600". Per Ram, my pressure plate manufacturer, they need ~0.500" of travel for full disengagement. 0.500" is the industry standard.

McLeod also suggested 0.100" - 0.300" gap between the throwout bearing face and the pressure plate fingers. I had mine at approximately 0.130"

Any idea why the unit I bought only travels 0.400" rather then the manufacturer's claimed 0.600" ?
