STM clutch fork stop?

Ok so I have looked and cant find a install on it. I'm curious about this. I have a cusco exedy twin and a stm clutch fork stop. I'm about to do my 5spd swap and I'm wondering sense there's no instructions included how to install/just the little nut and bolt properly. Do you just bolt it up and it works? Or do you have to adjust it car spacific?
Thanks

I set mine so that the bolt barely touches the fork when the clutch is all the way out.

Once installed the bolt head should be between 1/8 - 1/4 inch away from the fork at rest.

Thanks for your support.

Any time you guys need help please don't hesitate to call us.

Cars apart now, doing a full rebuild. Just a quick check with a tape measure is all you need, set it and forget it!

Bringing an old thread back, do the clutch for stops pretty much cure the need to go to a push type clutch? Or are there other benefits?

Its not the same as going to a push style but it makes the main problem with the pull style non existent.

A push style clutch can be shifted faster and is usually smoother. The problem is they can also be harsh on the driveline because they grab harsher and cant be slipped.

The problem with the pull style on the multi-plate clutches (mainly exedy) is the clip that holds the TOB to the clutch cover, on a fast shift it can break which leads to hundreds of dollars or hours in the garage to fix. This part gets rid of that chance.

That's mainly the info I was looking for. I am doing a clutch this spring and will be doing 90% street driving 10% at the drag strip just to see what she does. So I'm trying to find the ideal setup. I was thinking exedy twin hd with the clutch fork stop, but have not yet decided.

^^ if you have the Exedy twin, trust me get it! I didnt have it and the f**king snap ring came off on me twice already. You have to take off the transmission just to get it back on. I would not recommend using the same snap ring but thats me. I got another one and installed the CFS so far I have had no problems with it.
