Hello all, any idea why my clutch fork isn’t aligned with my slave cylinder? Should the slave be replaced or is it possible the fork is jammed somehow?
I replaced my clutch last weekend and cleaned inside the trans, the throw out bearing, and replaced the pivot ball. Is it possible I screwed up the way the fork aligns with the slave when reattaching it to the ball?

Also if this helps, I noticed some issues with my clutch pedal sticking once I put everything back together. I flushed fluids, bled my lines, done just about everything but replace the slave. I am waiting for my slave replacement in the mail and am running a Wilwood master cylinder so wasn’t really expecting my pedal to start sticking.

If it didn't look like this prior to you doing all of that, then yes, it is possible that you screwed up the reassembly.. Take it apart, inspect, correct, then reassemble. Page CL-13.
I am getting ready to try this weekend. Thanks for the valuable info and the link.
Is there any explanation as to why the clutch pedal is nice and stiff and comes right back up when the car is off but sticks down when it’s on? If the physical position of the fork was causing it to stick, wouldn’t it stick when the car was off as well?
