G50 clutch fork

We have a G50-01 (shortened) and a 95 993 motor.

To make a long story short, which of these configurations looks correct?

I am referring to the angle of the clutch fork as controlled by the height of the ears on the release bearing.

I think you are asking if the fork is properly fitted behind the ears on the TO bearing.
I vote for the top image being correct. You should be able to look in and see if the fork tines are "under" the TO bearing ears, but I don't remember if I tried looking before.

I believe with a new disc the top image is close. when the disc wears the slave push rod extends more and the fork moves closer to your second pic.
But when I try to picture what happens I may have my thinking reversed since it is a pull type pressure plate.

In both cases the fork is engaged behind the ears on the TO bearing.

Clutch disc is new.

If the disc is new and is replaced with a worn one Which way will the lever move? If it moves away from the slave cyl then position #1 would appear correct. If it moves towards the slave then probably pos #2 would be.

Definitely #1. The slave cylinder rod extends out and pushes on the fork.

#2 looks like the fork missed or came off the release bearing groove.

Not so fast Obviously the pushrod extends and pushes against the fork. The problem will be which way does the fork move when the disc wears. The resting position of the fork will change with clutch wear.Does it move towards the slave with wear then pos 1 doesn,t have anywhere to go. If it moves away with wear then position 2 doesn,t leave any room for wear change.
