Default Lm7 + T5 clutch cylinder problem

Hello
I have Lm7 and camaro's T5

I have this flywheel and clutch kit
www.ebay.com/itm/382399213647

And this bellhousing kit
www.ebay.com/itm/271878114619

I didn't use throwout bearing of clutch kit, i only used bellhousing kit throwout bearing. But clutch fork goes way too far back, so it would need some part between throwout bearing and pressure plate is there any part that would do the job?

Or should i throw away that fork and throwout bearing and use hydraulic throwout bearing instead? what fits to t5? What parts i need to make it work?

The LS flywheel and 621 bell combination sets the clutch 0.4" farther forward than the setup your bell kit was intended for. You simply need a longer throwout bearing.

BTW, I'm hoping you used the correct pilot bearing and not the one that came with your clutch kit.
