Is your clutch fork suspended on a pivot ball or flat fulcrum. I ask because I purchase a replacement Pioneer clutch fork that had similar issues with minimal contact with the throw-out bearing on a Dodge application, and the throw-out spun off the fork on a drive.

Something is wrong there, it won't work out, must figure it out. Or it's a GM part sold for a mopar.

Are you using the old bearing that fit the other clutch?

It's on a flat bracket not a ball and I just ordered all new everything Brewers

Look at the old clutch for the wear marks left by the TO bearing. Show us a picture of the old one, does it look like this?

The old one rides in the middle of the bearing the new one is only touching about 1/16 to a 1/8 of a inch on the outside of the bearing

Doesn't seem right, not a fun job to do it over again.

No it isn't and I just looked I paid for the zoom clutch that's $243 and they sent me the Perfection clutch that's $210 Summit is a joke I should've just bought the clutch from brewers and been done with it

Good thing you looked this over and found out before it was in the car.
