Does your clutchfork pivot on a ball that screws into your bellhousing? If it does, you may be able to fix your problem (at least temporarily) by "undoing" the pivot to move it towards the front of the car and then

The fork only has a hole on the outer end and I have adjusted the pushrod, but will try and adjust the pivot next. Thansk for the replies.
