Needing some advice. Took the clutch out and put it back in. Verified spring side depends on mfg which is correct from the label. Some mfgs put the flywheel side on the snout and others do not. All that is correct but now going by the FSM, the fingers are supposed to be at 74 mm from the rear face of bellhousing. Mine are off by 2mm. Does anyone know how to adjust the height on a 3 finger clutch? I have read some of the stories on here and I'm not skipping this.
I think there is a procedure in the Haynes manual. I'm sure the factory manual covers it too. It is adjusted by a jam nut. Depth part of a dial caliper, 6" Stainless steel rule in 1/64.
Yea silicon is on my roof.

Thank you that will at least get me in the right direction. I have the Haynes manual so I will go over that section again. I messed with one of the hex bolts below one of the fingers and it does loosen the finger and make it drop but there is no way to keep the bolt tight. I'm hoping it's possible to adjust it without having to take this thing out and reinstall it. But I have seen people do it by bolting the cover to a table and using a threaded rod, plate, and nut as a make shift press.

1-13 now found it. Mentions the lock nut. Don't believe I can get to that without removing it again LOL. Glad I bought the big bottle of threadlocker. Maybe if I start painting all new parts electric orange before installing them, they will default to spec.

You can get to it thru the inspection plate without removing whole trans, it's just a little tight. I've had to do the adjustments to the 3 fingers this way. It helps if you have an offset wrench too. Just loosen jam nut, measure/twist finger bolt, relock jam nut x31-13 now found it. Mentions the lock nut.
