Default v6 mustang clutch

i just installed my spec stage 2 clutch on my stock flywheel that has been resurfaced ans shaved to about 20lbl and on the face of the clutch whas shaved and resurfaced about 30 to 50 thousandths and on the ball that the throwout bearing release fork rest on i added a warsher to comphensate for the metal taken off and my clutch cable has like an automatic clutch cable adjuster and it keeps the clutch cable tight enought so it doesnt come off but what im on her for is my throw out bearing is resting on my pressure plate fingers and i was wondering if this is a problem of if this is normal its not disingauging the clutch or anything just resting on them but when i pull the clutch fork away the fingers move up just a hair i was just on here to make sure this is ok

Yes. It's normal for a self adjusting cable to preload the bearing.

Next time try to use periods and sentences. Your thread is hard to read and understand.
