Default may have problem with street twin

Clutch is A Mcleod street twin LS1 with steel flywheel. Pulled trans to do a trans rebuild. Clutch has like 2000 miles. The 3 fingers on pressure plate. 2 have some play and 1 is tight. Is this normal or should they all be tight. Or should they all have A little play. This has been sitting all winter so maybe thats why the one is tight [ little rust maybe ].I had no problems with the clutch other than it got real hard to hit third and fourth gears at the end of the season. Third and fourth gear syncro's are bad. This clutch hits hard and has no mercy on driveline parts with sticky tires. Any feedback would be appreciated.
THANK YOU
MIKE

This is normal. As long as the (3) bolts on top of the cover are not loose you are good to go. The loose lever has to do with a machined tolerence within the lever itself. We try to keep tolerence +/- .005 but somtimes they can vary past that and the yoke bushing will allow for the movement of the lever like you are experiencing.
