Yea I’m sorry, that was my fault. I meant installed longer than the other. Not longer length wise.

I got a little time to climb under and play with things. I feel like the majority of my issue is with weak spring clips attaching to the pivot ball. At rest, the return spring tends to pull the entire fork forward rather than just the clutch rod side. I feel like if the springs were holding the fork against the pivot ball the fork would pull the bearing away from the diaphragm more efficiently. Next time the T/O bearing goes, I’ll install a new fork as well.
