Hey Greg,

You say the clutch fork is resting against the front part of the hole in the bellhousing? I guess you're using a push-type slave cylinder right? Pushing from the back?

Aren't setups like that made for cables? I thought the majority of hydraulic setups pushed from the front or pulled from the rear.

Here's a quote from my Shell Valley manual:

"A clutch problem has arose due to certain types of bellhousings being used. DO NOT try to use a hydraulic clutch system with a bellhousing made for a cable clutch. The pivot point on a cable clutch bell housing is in the wrong place and will cause you problems getting enough travel to disengage the clutch."

I think that's your problem, Greg. I really don't think those bellhousings are made to be used hydraulically.....you may have to go to a cable setup....or swap bellhousings.
