I've got a manual transmission and i have replaced the slave and throw out bearing. Now that i have its back up and bolted in my clutch it still doesn't feel right. now i have noticed that the fork that the slave rod pushes in was a little bit farther down than where it was wen i took out. Idk if maybe there's a chance it was not lined up right when i put it back together, but i thought it just kind of lines itself back up?

It does have a placement for the clutch secondary cylinder that the push rod needs to fit into. But can I ask if you bled the system once the job was complete? This video might help as well:

Please check out how the job is done in the images below; it includes how to bleed the clutch system. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
