Help adjusting clutch for pivot ball on a Lakewood bell housing with a t-5
Hell everyone, sorry if there’s a thread for this already. I just need to know how to adjust the clutch pivot for on my Lakewood bell housing, currently running a t5 with a ram clutch and a stock clutch fork. Thanks in advance

Without further information, or variance in parts from an an otherwise stock T5 setup, you would adjust the Lakewood piece to match a stock non-adjustable ballstud in an 84-92 bellhousing.
The only difference I can think of is the Lakewood plus block plate may be slightly thicker as an assembly than the stock bellhousing. For that reason, measure and get the Lakewood stud round end adjusted a distance from block mounting surface equal to stock.
Clutch and flywheel assembly height is something else that could impact setup slightly. But again, if it's stock third gen style V8 clutch and flywheel, stock height should work.
