What i've been doing is turning the rod counterclockwise, i cant get a grip on the bolt but by turning the rod it pulls the block closer to the rear of the engine, allowing me to tighten to bolt. By doing this it gives me more free play but pushes the engagment point closer to the floor which avoids the harsh return springs pop. I know i cant tighten it too far or else the clutch wont properly disengage. Here are some pictures.

The Rod, Block and Nut

I dont know if this little Timeline helps. Its of letting out the clutch

Disengaged[------------Grabs------Spring Pops--Complety engaged------Freeplay Starts-----------------------------Ends] Engaged

It is a new clutch So i know its not the clutch. My main guess is the return spring is weird because it gives medium resistance then gives extreme resistance when letting out, then enters freeplay. I also assume the freeplay is because the rubber stopper is missing, i will check if the rubber stopper is there.

EDIT: Just checked, couldnt find a rubber stopper, where is it spose to be?
