Pedal rod to Z bar question.

Going crazy now. If I push to much on the pedal the fork forces itself off the throw out bearing spring clips. I think the throw out bearing it too long on the shaft but don't have my original to compare. The fingers on the PP are about 2.5 inches off he flywheel. The fork sits about 1 5/8 " from the face of the bearing but seems like the collar in the back is to long . (I should have taken a pic)
Iv'e heard good things about the McLeod diaphragm clutch I might throw in the towel and purchase. Anyone running this set up and do you like it ? I know I have to remove the pedal spring.
