The throw-out bearing is against the clutch pressure plate all the time and needs to be moved back 5/8 of an inch, what do I need to do to move it back?

Hi,

The hydraulic clutch system locates the clutch pedal height and provides automatic clutch adjustment. No adjustment of clutch linkage or pedal position is possible. So, either we have a faulty part or something isn't together properly.

Are you sure the new release fork isn't bent or the slave cylinder is seated properly?

Let me know.
