The more I adjust it to do so, the throwout bearing then rests against the clutch fingers. I am thinking that the 16935 which shows a greater bend will allow for more movement with less movement from the slave cylinder.

You may need to post a picture or two for clarity as I can envision some possible issues. At the risk of stating what you already know - the rod needs to be pushed all the way in to bottom the slave cylinder and the rod adjusted to meet the fork in a position where there is just a small bit of clearance from the TO bearing to the clutch fingers (free play). Usually a spring is used to counter the internal spring pressure in the slave cylinder and keep the TO bearing off of the clutch fingers. My spring runs from the slave cylinder to the end of the fork. Only by bottoming out the slave cylinder will you get maximum fork stroke.
You can see this spring in the following:
You can see the approximate angle of my clutch fork in this photo. I don't know what fork a Tremec should use.
Don't know if any of this helps.
