Tremec install question.....
 

Well after having my Classic Chevy Tremec kit sitting on my shelf for WAY too long I have finally begun the install.

I ordered the complete TKO600 kit from Jeff for a 69 Camaro. I'm doing auto to manual swap.

I have the clutch, flywheel etc.. installed and I'm at the point of having to adjust the clutch fork. The kit came with an adjustable Mcleod T/O bearing. Out of the box it is in it's longest configuration. I put it in as is. To get to what looks like the right adjustment on the clutch fork angle, I have the ball stud adjusted so that close to all of the thread is sticking out of the back of the bell. Before I go and cut the "extra" thread off, I'm wondering if I should remove T/O bearing and remove the rings to make it shorter.

Anyone have experience with adjustable T/O bearings on a Tremec swap?

I also have to cut a hole in the tunnel for the shifter. Any tips or tricks? I am thinking of using a 4" hole saw for a clean cut.

TIA for any advice or info.!
