you will need to do some measuring to get the proper throwout bearing. I was not able to use the one that came with my clutch. I had to order a very long throwout bearing and my clutch fork doesn't have to move far at all to actuate the clutch.
Novak conversions has a write up on throwout bearings and how to measure for them to be correct for your setup. They have several methods so you don't necessarily have to pull it all apart if that is indeed your issue. Hate to say it, but sound
like it might be.

http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/clutches_etc.htm scroll to the bottom and see section on measuring throwout bearing clearances.

Thanks Chris, Mine is bolted in from the front of the bellhousing. Its not really adjustable but theres over an inch of threads on it. I'm thinking Ill just put a spacer on it to see how that looks.
