This is the deal- this is a 1978 chevy blazer-400ci-4speed- just put new centerforce clutch in it and it worked awesome-then the rear frezze plugs started leaking resulting in braking the throw out bearing..installed new frezze plugs ,throw out bearing and fork. put all of it back together went to start andit dose not let go into gear-tried to adjust it about 5 times and really did not get any better. it seems that the whole rod that bolts to the frame and bellhousing needs to come over about a inch so it has a better throw on the fork??????? PLEASE HELP

If your off by an inch you might need to redo the pilot bearing set up...
