Wish i got a video before i put it back together, lessons have been learnt 🙂 The bearing sits on a 48mm sleeve, the sleeves held onto the clutch fork with a spring (that returns the sleeve). When you pull the fork towards the engine, the whole sleeve and bearing slides towards the clutch. I'm trying to explain something i don't entirely understand sorry. Which all seems to be working fine, it's just a lot of freeplay and i don't know whats acceptable. I can't buy a longer sleeve, 48mm is what it previously ran and is also the largest sleeve available.

It's just a cable, from the way it hooks onto the clutch fork i assume it can only pull towards the engine?

Hello I'm doing my first clutch job, A15 with a 60 series 5 speed. None of my manuals say how much travel is normal, between the sleeve/throwout bearing and it making contact with the pressure plate fingers? It's at least an inch. I know i can take that slack away when i adjust the clutch cable, it just seems like a lot of freeplay. Wanted to make sure it seems ok before i get it back in. Youtube short link below, really appreciate any help. Youtube short showing the freeplay.
