Ok, got a response from my Tremec guy who has done several of these installations in the past few weeks. Here is the only way that he could get this setup to work, including trying a Fox body clutch fork.

Here's a recap:

*The quill tube has to be shortened by 3/8".
*You can use the SN95 clutch fork
*The midplate webbing has to be clearanced for the clutch fork to clear.
*You have to use a Lakewood 15502 ball stud, which is the short one. You have to basically run it almost all the way in, but this still gives you enough room for the fork to clip on.

What we can do is offer a midplate swap. If you send your new midplate in, we will swap you a new modified midplate that has had the quill tube removed, turned down, and pressed back in, the webbing clearanced, and the Lakewood ball stud installed. The cost of the swap including the machine work is $150 + shipping.

This will eliminate your problem totally.
