My question is about how much shuld I "preload" the clutch fork? Right now its not preloaded at all and it seemed to be working fine, i didnt know you were supposed to preload it. Are you? The stock one snaped so I had nothing to judge my new one by. Thanks

Ah, good question...I have a thread up now trying to get that same answer. I just did an AOD to T5 conversion, and looking at the way the throwout bearing mates to the clutch, and how the fork attaches to the cable, I would at least adjust the cable so there is no slack. Not sure about the preload, although I have read 10lbs is good. I would like to know too.
