thrust bearing pressure.

im just putting a safari gearbox into my terrano and have come across a wee question that i.m not to sure on, hopping you guys can help.
the thrust bearing ? the one on the end of clutch fork that slides up and down the input shaft and pushes against the pressure plate.
the question is where dose it sit ? dose it rest against the pressure plate or is it a few mm away ? how much throw should i allow for ? sorry for the dumb question i never need to know before this.

nup you dont want it sitting against the pressure plate or it'll wear out pretty quick, you want a bit of freeplay on the clutch fork so it can move back off the pressure plate

thanks for that much appreciated.

this is why you should not drive with your foot resting on the clutch peddal.
