Any chance they have given you a V8 clutch plate which looks identical but doesn't have the recess machined on the flywheel side for the spigot bush holder.

Did this with a fine metric bolt. Got 50mm of travel & still nothing.
Clutch is def a turbo one - AYG3616.
Dropped the box late tonight. Nothing obvious; will have to take some measurements tomorrow.

Two other things to check ; When box is out check the clutch fork pivot to see if its loose in bellhousing.
;Or do you have the correct thrust bearing with the spacer?

If the pivot is loose, drill and tap a thread in the base of it and bolt it into its recess to keep it secure.
