So I was having trouble with my clutch and had the wrong size throw out bearing installed. So i swapped it out for the McLeod adjustable throw out bearing and set it to the 1.55 setting since the 1.75 throw out bearing was too tall and wouldn't let the clutch fully disengage and the 1.25 throw out bearing wouldn't even reach the clutch.

Once I installed the throw out bearing the gap for the fork I noticed is a little bigger then the gap on the stock chevys throw out bearings. I installed it anyways and now my transmission is stuck in first gear. The first sign of something being off was when I couldn't turn my drive shaft by hand by turning the tires or the drive shaft to finish installing it.

I did install the throw out bearing correctly with the fork and the springs going into the slot so that is not it.

Has anyone had any issues with Mcleod before?
Btw its a mechanical clutch on t5 with a 153 bellhousing

 

I can hear a pretty loud knocking noise as well coming from the bellhousing.

 

When I start the nova and release the clutch. With the clutch in the wheels do not turn and there is no noise.

 

If you go back to your prior thread, you'll see my question that you never really answered. Which just happens to be the next one you need to answer so that you can get things right.

 

Sorry about that. I have the short pivot ball and I couldn't find out what fork I have and couldn't find a different fork.

 

14066235 is the clutch fork that I have in there now. I looked up all the clutch forks for the year the motor is. Which is supposed to be a later 80's suburban motor and they have this listed as the clutch fork.
