escort engine VS type9

Hi, aybody who knows how to fix the clutch on a type9 gearbox when i use a escort engine? It seems that the "arm" doesnt travel far enough to press on the clutch?

Bad english!?!?WHO, ME?!?!

I'm installing escort rs 2000 16 v engine with MT 75 gearbox, and I have to extent the clutch bearing by about 27 mm.
Can't say for you're combination, but I think thay you have to extend the clutch bearing also.

I had the same problem until I fitted a capari release bearing, and cut and shut the lever slightly worked a treat.

I know what the problem is but not how to solve it in the best way.

AvonBelgium: How did you extend it, do you got any pictures?
