L 5 Speed behind EA81 200mm clutch :(

Maybe some pics later, but as i started to suspect, the Holden Isuzu Gemini friction plate mixed with Subes 4WD 200mm pressure plate and the 5 speed clutch fork and throwout bearing combo has its drawbacks when converting an MY EA81 from its four speed 4WD to an L 5 speed 4WD.
All has to do with where the clutch throw out bearing levers against the clutch pressure plate fingers and how much adjustment and pedal throw you get.
I also retaINED THE caps lock off MY clutch pedal ...
The difference between the pressure plates is the size of the hole that is between the finger tips, an L bearing pushes further along, almost to a first knuckle if they were real fingers, rather than right at the tip.
About to resolve all the non issues that I have had in 9 years 150,000km with the 5 speed in it. Should just be a more refined shifter, cable adjust when the EA82M is in and running.
