I know somewhere back in the thread you said pedal assembly is rebuilt. Do you know how it was done? I've seen this done incorrectly.

Oh man don't do it by a thousand paper cuts. They are too painful.Operation Slow-as-molasses is proceeding on schedule.
Which means I removed the exhaust today. Transmission will be removed by a thousand paper cuts.
ughhh...shame...Ive lost 0.1oz of respect for you now ....Next thing you know, you'll be wearing a respirator when you paint something....I feel like I’ve officially joined the old man club. I actually just bought a pair of safety glasses because I’m sick to death of getting rust and dirt and god knows what else in my eye everytime I’m under this damn thing. Lol.
But yeah. Feels surreal. No more safety squints.
Only if they’re the noise canceling kind Marty!And headphones while mowing......
I think you'll need to do something different to get in the old man club.I feel like I’ve officially joined the old man club.

Gen Z thinks safety glasses are very stylish!

You're dropping the trans before trying the new OE master cylinder?Got the axles out. The key this time was having my wife hold the axle straight/parallel and turn it slowly while I did the “wrist flick” thing with a prybar and it came out with such little effort I actually asked aloud “did that just actually work?” To which my wife promptly answered “yes”.
But yeah. Very pleased. From here only the tcase needs to be dropped then the trans itself can be removed. Getting close now!
Also because updates are useless without pictures, here’s a picture of my clutch fork as it sits currently.

Til next time.
There's always going to be a gap as the pp friction surface sits proud of the mounts, but how much depends on the geometry of that exact pp and your clutch disc thickness. I'd say that looks normal as well but normal for yours isn't the same as normal for another setup.
Making good headway.
Refresh my memory: why did you remove the trans yet again after the new flywheel was installed?
Did you happen to take a picture of the pressure plate fingers after you torqued it down to the flywheel?
I’m just curious as some clutches I’ve used made a point on checking it with different flywheels and combos

Ooh I thought you put the new flywheel in already since you posted a fork picture. it looked better than the very first one but maybe I'm mistaken. I thought you had the new setup together again already.I never installed my new flywheel, I installed the old one hoping it would be fine. When I had clutch disengagement issues I couldn't verify step height or condition of the old flywheel, so I just bought and installed a brand new one from Tim Zimmer/TMZ Performance, and had it shipped directly to him to get him to check step height and make sure it was good. It passed with flying colors, so I know for a fact mechanically everything is spec'd, torqued, and fine.
In fact I did! Pictures below.

It cannot get any different as far as fingers go. If I still have disengagement issues when this is all done, I'll change the master with a brand new OEM one. If I still have disengagement issues after that's done, installed, adjusted and checked, I'll be RMA'ing this clutch back to Southbend because legit everything at that point will be new, adjusted, and perfect.
But, I got the transmission back in as pictured above, with the mount torqued in, also got the axles, t-case, inspection cover, hubs, and wheels all in and tight. From here only thing I need to do is exhaust, crossbrace for the trans, starter, UICP/Intake, and battery. Not very much at all. But I'm done for the day, very happy with progress for today.
