I've been putting the finishing touches on a B20 build for my '64 544. Part of that included a new clutch (because, well, it would be silly not to.)

The motor / crank comes from a 1975 240, so it is of the 8 bolt variety (though I don't know why that would matter much.) I ordered an OEM Sachs clutch kit.

With everything installed and the adjuster run out as far as it goes, there is barely any usable clutch, MAYBE about 2 inches from the floor (if not less). At first I thought it was the result of sloppy linkage pieces, but those have all been replaced with new parts.

As best I can tell, the clutch fork doesn't appear to be bent.

As it is, the car isn't really driveable. I'm stumped. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks as always.
